Austria at the UEFA European Championship

For the women's team, see Austria at the UEFA Women's Championship.

Austria have appeared in four editions of the UEFA European Championship: 2008, 2016, 2020, and 2024.

As a host nation, Austria qualified automatically for Euro 2008, marking their debut in the tournament. After losing their opening game and drawing the second, the co-hosts still had a theoretical chance to advance to the second round, but were eliminated after a 0–1 loss to Germany.

For Euro 2016, Austria qualified as winners of their qualifying group, before once again exiting in the group stage after only picking up one point. They qualified for Euro 2020 by finishing second in their group, and reached the knockout stage at the tournament for the first time, before being eliminated by Italy in the round of 16 after extra time. At Euro 2024, Austria finished top of their group for the first time, ahead of former winners France and the Netherlands, qualifying for the knockout stage for a second time; they would again lose in the round of 16, this time to Turkey.
