Extra teams of enquiry officers from TV Licensing, the body responsible for collecting licence fees, will be working throughout the tournament. Firms flouting the law could risk a trip to court and a £1,000 fine.
Last year during the football World Cup, more than 31,400 people in businesses and homes across the UK were caught watching TV without a licence.
