- Notes
- ^ UEFA regards the Czech Republic and Slovakia as equal successors of Czechoslovakia, and thus neither team is considered to have debuted outright under its current incarnation. Regardless, they are separate entities and are counted accordingly, bringing the cumulative total number of participants to 33 as of 2016 (and 36 as of 2024).
Overall team records
[edit]- As of UEFA Euro 2024
The system used in the European Championship up to 1992 was 2 points for a win, and 3 points for a win from 1996 onwards. In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.[1]

Notes
- ^ Spain refused to travel to the Soviet Union for their qualification match, so the Soviet Union qualified by walkover.
- ^ Yugoslavia originally qualified for UEFA Euro 1992, but were later disqualified due to international sanctions. This is not counted as a final tournament Yugoslavia qualified for.
- ^ Greece entered the 1964 competition but later withdrew after refusing to play Albania. This is not counted as a qualification tournament Greece participated in.
Hosts
[edit]From 1960 to 1976 the host was decided between one of the four semi-finalists. Since 1980 the hosts have automatically qualified, except in 2020 when every country had to qualify through qualification. Germany has hosted the finals in 2024.
