About this chart

Spain have won the European Championship four times: 1964, 2008, 2012 and 2024. Their Euro 2024 win made them the outright leader. Germany, counting West Germany, have 3 titles from 1972, 1980 and 1996, and had led alone since 1980 until Spain tied them with the 2012 win. Italy (1968, 2020) and France (1984, 2000) have 2 each.

The Soviet Union won the first tournament in 1960, and Czechoslovakia (1976), the Netherlands (1988), Denmark (1992), Greece (2004) and Portugal (2016) each won once. The chart is cumulative by country, with West Germany included under Germany. The last tournament was Euro 2024, so totals are flat in 2025 and 2026, and the next is in 2028.
