EUROS 2016
England, Wales and Northern Ireland are all competing in the 24-team tournament, which is being held across France between 10 June and 10 July.
Police expect between 350,000 and 500,000 supporters to travel from the United Kingdom to the tournament.
There were about 250,000 tickets sold to UK residents from 1.6m applications.
"There is no excuse for violence, disorder or anti-social behaviour at football matches," said Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for football policing. "Troublemakers will be dealt with by French police in line with their laws and can expect a banning order on return to the UK."
British police are hoping to act as "cultural interpreters" to prevent heavy-handed tactics against drunk and rowdy fans who may not cause serious trouble.
