It doesn't read too well and could be read as:
"The Euro 2016 matches are only being showing in HD on Virgin" or
"Only the Euro 2016 matches will be shown in HD on Virgin."

S4C makes a return to HD broadcasting in time for Euro 2016
Friday, May 20, 2016 Channels , News
Welsh broadcaster S4C is making a return to high definition broadcasting in June in time to offer HD coverage of Wales playing at Euro 2016 in France.
S4C HD will launch on satellite on Tuesday 7th June, and will be available on Sky and Freesat following several weeks of test transmissions. The HD channel will take the slot of the current standard definition service for viewers with HD receivers. S4C HD will be available across the UK: On Sky and Freesat 104 in Wales and Sky 134 / Freesat 120 outside of Wales.
NOT ON FREEVIEW
At the present time, there is only one Freeview HD multiplex covering all of Wales, and there is insufficient space available to fit S4C HD without forcing another channel to be removed or without any timesharing arrangement. Some spare capacity on the multiplex looks set to be utilised for extra BBC Red Button coverage of the main summer sports and music events, including the Olympics.
VIRGIN MEDIA
On Virgin Media, only the Euro 2016 matches from S4C will be available in HD. The remaining S4C HD schedule will not be available.
