The UEFA European Championship is the main football competition of the men's national football teams governed by UEFA (the Union of European Football Associations). Held every four years since 1960, in the even-numbered year between World Cup tournaments, it was originally called the UEFA European Nations' Cup, changing to the current name in 1968. Starting with the 1996 tournament, specific championships are often referred to in the form “Euro XXXX”. Prior to entering the tournament all teams other than the host nations (which qualify automatically) compete in a qualifying process.
Scotland have participated in four UEFA European Championship finals: the 1992, 1996, 2020 (played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and 2024 editions. They have played twelve matches, winning two, drawing three and losing seven. They have scored seven goals and conceded seventeen, failing to advance past the group stage so far.
