With Euro 2024 now moving closer towards the knockout phase, games are taking on an even greater level of significance.
Only 16 of the nations who qualified for the group phase will earn a place in the Round of 16, meaning eight teams will be heading home from Germany before we reach July.
With the majority of teams now having played two games of their three group matches, the picture is becoming clearer as to which sides will be in the knockout stages.
Here’s a rundown of the teams knocked out of Euro 2024 so far and information on when the knockout matches will take place, up to and including the final.

Teams out of Euro 2024: Updated list of nations eliminated from UEFA European Championship
The 24-team format gives the Euros an initial round-robin phase of six groups of four. The top two in each section qualify automatically for the Round of 16, with the best four third-place teams making up the remaining sides in the first knockout phase.
From that point on, the tournament is a straight knockout competition, with 30 minutes of extra time and a penalty shootout if necessary after any game that is level at full-time.
Here are the teams to have been knocked out of Euro 2024 so far. The Sporting News will update this page as more nations are eliminated.
