UEFA European Championship records and statistics

This is a list of records and statistics of the UEFA European Championship.

Ranking of teams by number of appearances

 * Notes

Debut of national teams
A total of 42 different UEFA members have reached the finals, 36 teams are still active, and 35 have debuted outright. Every final tournament has seen at least one entity appearing for the first time.

Overall team records
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.

Notes

Former countries

Medal table
The third place play-off has been removed since 1984, meaning the losing semi-finalists are both counted under bronze since then.

Czechoslovakia's results are counted for both Czechia and Slovakia.
