The report says Benidorm’s hospitality association wants terrace noise restrictions delayed until matches finish, rather than taking effect during the game. The request focuses on the group stage, when fixtures involving England, Scotland, Germany and Spain are expected to attract large crowds.
Several group matches are reportedly scheduled for 22:00 or 23:00 local time. A 23:00 kick-off could therefore run well beyond existing late-night limits, leaving supporters watching the closing stages without sound or being asked to leave outdoor areas.
Benidorm’s terrace limit is reported to fall to 55 decibels after midnight, with enforcement potentially beginning around 23:30. The hospitality case is straightforward: a football crowd is most likely to peak near the final whistle, not at kick-off.
Magaluf is taking the opposite approach. The Calvià council reportedly plans to require outdoor audio to be switched off after midnight, while screens may continue showing matches inside venues.
The municipality has also rejected unrestricted opening hours during the tournament. Its stated priority is protecting residents, preserving pedestrian movement and limiting disruption around busy nightlife areas.
That creates a clear divide between the two destinations. Benidorm is seeking a match-specific exception; Magaluf is prioritising a fixed nighttime framework.
The report says tourism operators have indicated an 18% increase in flights between the United Kingdom and Alicante, while Benidorm is planning additional overnight policing between 11 June and 19 July.
The next step is the response from Benidorm’s council. Any decision will shape how pubs, hotels and fan groups plan for late kick-offs, while Magaluf’s first major test will be whether its midnight audio cut-off can be enforced during high-profile knockout matches.
