LRe: Linking up sky to outside tv
Sky+ or Sky Q? The method used is fundamentally different for each. Do you have a subscription which covers an additional Sky box? What it the approximate cable distance from the house? Are you hoping for UHD?

@TimmyBGood I have sky Q , I have 2 boxes. 1 in living room and 1 in bedroom. Distance to house is 10 metres. Distance to sky dish is 8 metres. I have electric outside.

Re: Linking up sky to outside tv
OK: to use a Mini box out there you need to extend the data signal, either wirelessly or over ethernet. The main Q box (for UHD) requires a satellite feed which is harder to achieve. It's also not impossible to run HDMI cable from an existing box to a different location but there are distinct distance limits.

@BUDDY2021 If the Euros is your only immediate target, they will, presumably, be on BBC and ITV. So a decent aerial to pick up Freeview might be an easier alternative.
