The 2020 UEFA European Under-17 Championship (also known as UEFA Under-17 Euro 2020) was originally to be held as the 19th UEFA European Under-17 Championship (38th edition if the Under-16 era is also included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-17 national teams of Europe, before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Estonia, which were selected by UEFA on 9 December 2016, were originally to host the tournament.[2][3] A total of 16 teams were originally to play in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2003 eligible to participate.
The final tournament was originally scheduled to be played between 21 May and 6 June 2020.[4] After initially being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UEFA announced on 1 April 2020 that the tournament had been cancelled.[1][5][6]
