One in two men admit they will either have to treat their partner in order to get permission to watch the tournament or promise to behave well, according to off-licence chain Threshers.
Just under a third of men had to promise not to get too drunk, while 27% agreed to make sure their friends would have left the house by a certain time.
One in three fans agreed to give their partners a nice evening in in return for a night of football, while 25% are collectively set to spend '22.1 million taking their girlfriends out, and 17% will spend just under '8 million cooking a meal and having a bottle of wine.
The most expensive bribe was giving girlfriends money to go shopping, with 17% of men set to part with '26.5 million, or '50 each, to ensure they could watch the tournament.
Other promises included calling their partner at half-time, not betting too much on the game, being home by a certain time and letting them have the house to themselves at a future date.
