Notes

^ ^a ^b Includes three appearances as Czechoslovakia
^ Includes five appearances as West Germany
^ ^a ^b Including UEFA Euro 2024 in which Germany is already qualified as host.
^ ^a ^b Greece entered the 1964 competition, but later withdrew after refusing to play Albania. This is not counted as a qualification tournament Greece participated in.
^ Includes five appearances as the Soviet Union and one as CIS
^ Includes four appearances as Yugoslavia and one as FR Yugoslavia
^ ^a ^b 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.
^ Spain refused to travel to the Soviet Union for their qualification match, so the Soviet Union qualified by walkover.

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 will host the next finals in 2024.
