Switzerland and England UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Switzerland made their debut in the UEFA European Championships at Euro 1996. Although they’ve never surpassed the quarter-finals in their history, they have produced some remarkable performances.
At Euro 2020, Switzerland pulled off a stunning upset, eliminating the reigning world champions, France, in a gripping round of 16 clash. Recovering from a 3-1 deficit, Switzerland engineered an extraordinary comeback before triumphing over France in a penalty shootout.
Switzerland's journey ended in the quarter-finals, where they engaged Spain in a high-stakes encounter that reached a penalty shootout. While their earlier shootout was a success, Switzerland could not replicate the feat against Spain, converting only one of their four spot kicks.
England’s best performance at a UEFA European Championship also came at Euro 2020. The Three Lions reached the final and looked destined to finally end the nation’s long wait for a major trophy. They led Italy 1-0 for much of the game but ended up losing in a dramatic penalty shoot-out at Wembley Stadium.
Euro 1996, hosted on English soil, was another notable adventure. The semi-final clash against arch-rivals Germany still lives in the memories of many England fans over a certain age. The match ended 1-1 and the Germans advanced through a dramatic 7-6 penalty shootout victory.
Switzerland vs England Head to Head
England maintains a dominant record against Switzerland, with only one Swiss victory recorded between 1948 and 2024.
The two nations crossed paths at the UEFA European Championship on two previous occasions, in Euro 1996 and Euro 2004. Switzerland marked their European Championship debut with a hard-fought point against England in the opening match of Euro 1996.
Eight years later, during the group stage of Euro 2004, a young Wayne Rooney was in unstoppable form against Switzerland and netted a brace in a memorable 3-0 victory for England.
