Switzerland at the UEFA European Championship

As of 2024, Switzerland have appeared at five UEFA European Championships, between 1996 and 2020 (held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), with an ongoing sixth appearance in 2024. They have advanced past the first round three times, reaching the last 16 in 2016 and the quarter-finals in 2020 for the first time, before being eliminated by Spain on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time. They again made it to the quarter-finals in 2024, after defeating defending champions Italy 2–0.
