England, along with the usual cast of favourites, is one of a number of teams that will begin the tournament with a realistic chance of becoming European Champions in next month’s Berlin final. However, Denmark’s stunning victory at Euro 92, as well as Greece’s incredible victory at Euro 2004, serve as reminders that underdogs can cause a major upset on the continent’s big boys.
Who are the Euro 2024 favourites?
England are currently the favourites to win Euro 2024, thanks to their star-studded lineup and recent tournament near-misses.
Despite their previous underwhelming form and the squad’s various injury concerns, the Three Lions remain the odds-on favourites. Harry Maguire, a key member of the England team in recent years, will not travel due to injury, while first-choice left back Luke Shaw has not played since February – though he could return in the second group game against Denmark.

France, who eliminated England from the last World Cup, is the second favourite as Les Blues look to win the competition for the third time in their history.
Germany’s recent strong performance, including wins over France and the Netherlands, places them as third favourites for the tournament under Julian Nagelsmann. Euro 2016 Winners Portugal, which has an enviable collection of attacking talent, is fourth, ahead of Spain and defending champion Italy.
