EURO 2020 (which is playing in 2021) kicked off last week, and if you've been reading for a while, you know that apps for sports are in high demand these days.

Just how much demand, you ask? Let's check our App Intelligence for EURO 2020:

Demand for the app started in late May as fans were getting ready for the first game, which played on the 11th of June. On game day, downloads reached 200K globally, according to our estimates.

That was a Friday. The weekend continued to deliver for UEFA, the organizer of the games, with 237K and 235K downloads on Saturday and Sunday.

Our estimates show that since the beginning of May, new downloads have totaled 2.9M. About 58% of those came in through Google Play and the rest through the App Store globally.

If you weren't sure before, this should make it very clear, sports fans have gone digital.
