As of 2024, Switzerland have appeared at six UEFA European Championships, between 1996 and 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, but were once again eliminated in the quarter-finals on penalties, this time by England.
