England and Hungary UEFA Euros Tournament Record
England consistently enters the UEFA European Championship as one of the favourites, but the ultimate prize has remained elusive. They came closest to winning the competition at Euro 1996 and Euro 2020.
At Euro 96, England embarked on an unforgettable adventure on home turf. The Three Lions ignited the hopes of a nation, but their dreams were dashed by arch-rivals Germany in the semi-finals. The match ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw after 120 minutes of high-intensity action, and Germany triumphed in a gripping penalty shootout to secure their spot in the final.
At Euro 2020, England progressed to their first European Championship final. However, their dreams of glory were shattered once again in a nail-biting penalty shootout. Italy were crowned champions instead.
Hungary’s best performance at a European Championship occurred way back in 1964. They finished third in the tournament after beating Denmark 3-1 in the third place play-off match.
Hungary went more than 50 years without qualifying for a European Championship, but eventually returned at Euro 2016. They qualified for three consecutive European Championships, taking part at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024.
England vs Hungary Head to Head
England and Hungary cannot look back on many meetings in major international tournaments. One such meeting occurred at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, with Hungary running out 2-1 winners. They went 60 years without beating England again, until Dominik Szoboszlai scored the winning goal in a 1-0 Hungary win in the UEFA Nations League in June 2022.
Famously, in a football sense, Hungary thrashed England at Wembley Stadium in 1953, in a game that was later dubbed Match of the Century, so good were the Ferenc Puskas-inspired Hungarians.
