After months of waiting, Euro 2024 is finally upon us, with just days to go until the start of the European Championships.

England, alongside the usual cast of favourites, are one of a number of teams who will start the tournament with a realistic chance of being crowned Champions of Europe in July’s final in Berlin.

But Denmark’s hugely surprising victory at Euro 92 and Greece’s incredible triumph at Euro 2004 are both a reminder that the underdogs are capable of springing an almighty upset on the continent’s big boys.

Here are the latest odds for Euro 2024 as the favourites are busy applying the final touches to their preparations.

Who are the Euro 2024 favourites?

England are the current favourites to win Euro 2024, owing to their star-studded squad and recent tournament near-misses.

The Three Lions remain in top spot with the bookies despite their recent underwhelming form and the various injury concerns surrounding the squad.

Harry Maguire, who has been a vital part of the England team in recent years, will not be on the plane owing to injury, whilst first-choice left back Luke Shaw has not played since February – although he could be in line for a return in the second group game against Denmark.

France, who knocked England out of the last World Cup, are second favourites as Les Blues aim to win the tournament for the third time in their history.

Germany’s recent strong showing, having recorded recent wins over France and the Netherlands, sees them start the tournament as third favourites under Julian Nagelsmann.

Euro 2016 winners Portugal, who boast an enviable collection of attacking talent, are fourth, ahead of Spain and defending champions Italy.
