Who has qualified for Euro 2024? Teams, groups, who needs what to reach tournament in Germany

Countries across the continent are hoping to reach the 17th edition of the European Championship when it begins in June 2024.

Qualification began in March 2023 and takes place across 10 matchdays until November, with playoffs to decide some entrants held in March 2024.

There have been some heavyweight matches in qualifying already, including Italy and England meeting in Group C and two former champions, France and the Netherlands, being paired in Group C.

As tournament hosts, Germany were the only team to have qualified for Euro 2024 before the September qualifying matches.

Several teams were in a very strong position to qualify with matches to spare at that stage: England, France and Portugal, for example, had won all four of their games until that point, giving themselves a healthy lead over the teams in their groups outside of the qualification places.

This list will be updated as teams qualify.

Of the 53 teams vying for qualification, 23 will get to play in the finals, alongside Germany. Those teams are split across 10 groups: seven containing five teams and three comprised of six.

The top two from each group will qualify, making up 20 places. The three remaining spots will go to the winners of playoff games, which will take place between teams who have performed best in the 2022-23 Uefa Nations League.
