Notes
- Includes three appearances as Czechoslovakia
- Includes five appearances as West Germany
- Including UEFA Euro 2024 in which Germany is already qualified as host.
- Greece entered the 1964 competition, but later withdrew after refusing to play Albania. This is not counted as a qualification tournament Greece participated in.
- Includes five appearances as the Soviet Union and one as CIS
- Includes four appearances as Yugoslavia and one as FR Yugoslavia
- Yugoslavia originally qualified for UEFA Euro 1992, but were later disqualified due to international sanctions. This is not counted as a final tournament Yugoslavia qualified for.
- Spain refused to travel to the Soviet Union for their qualification match, so the Soviet Union qualified by walkover.
