It did not ‘Come Home’ and all the St George flags have been taken down, but Euro 2024 was a brilliant tournament with Spain defeating the Three Lions 2-1 in the Final.
This page was created ahead of Euro 2024 with England’s chances highlighted ahead of the tournament. You can use this page for nostalgia if you wish for the next four years before Euro 2028 starts.
Take a look at what the bookmakers felt about England’s chances at Euro 2024 and compare it to the odds and offers when the betting market opens for Euro 2028.
This page highlights how the bookmakers felt England would do ahead of Euro 2024. Take a look at the odds and see how close they were to getting it right. This page will remain live until the odds start coming through for Euro 2028 in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
When looking at betting odds on Euro 2024, you do not just have the simple option of backing one team to win the tournament. There are a number of different markets on offer that you can play around with in order to get more value out of your selected team.
We are focusing on England’s odds to win Euro 2024, but that does not mean you cannot back them to exit at a certain stage of the competition. Below are brief examples of which markets you can back and the prices you can get on England.
The outright tournament winner market is one of the most popular ones when it comes to sporting events like Euro 2024.
England are the favourites to win Euro 2024 with the majority of the best UK bookmakers with France, hosts Germany and Spain next in line.
This market is good if you believe England will reach the final but you are not confident of them getting the job done.
It is not about thinking they will fail, but England do not have the best record when it comes to reaching finals. Getting beaten on penalties in the final of Euro 2021 was heartbreaking - even more so if you backed them to win the tournament.
With this market, you can back England to just reach the final and you will be able to enjoy the game as a fan if they manage to get there, rather than worrying that you are about to lose your bet.
Having a few bets on who you think will win the overall tournament is quite simple, but can you predict which two teams will actually contest the Euro 2024 Final?
This market, which can be found at the best Euro 2024 sites, allows you to show off your predicting skills and back two different teams to reach the final. This is not as simple as just backing two teams, you will need to research the routes of progress of each team and work out when they will meet.
Below is a list of England Euro 2024 odds on which they reach the final against another team.

With England and Scotland being the only home nation countries to qualify for Euro 2024, there will be a lot of comparisons about both teams and discussions about which team will go the furthest.
Bet365 have capitalised on this market and are giving punters the chance to back their allegiance by betting on which team they feel will be in Germany the longest.
England are odds on favourites to go the furthest at 1/12, while the Tartan Army are 7/1 shots to take home the bragging rights. This market also seemed a non-starter and with Scotland failing to reach the knockout stages and England reaching the final, we were proved right.
It is unsure which of the host nations in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will gain the automatic two hosts places, but we could have special betting markets on who will get the furthers at 2028 between five teams.
Bettors have the opportunity to back teams to exit the tournament at different times, whether that be the group stage, the last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals or even the final.
Each competing nation has their own section with Bet365 that allows punters to back when they feel their country will be packing their bags and heading back home.
Below are the odds on all the stages that England can be eliminated at.
Stage Of Elimination | Odds |
---|---|
To win outright | 10/3 |
Runner-Up | 9/2 |
Semi-Finals | 3/1 |
Quarter-Finals | 10/3 |
Last 16 | 9/2 |
Group Stage | 12/1 |
If this section was just about how many major trophies have won in their history then it would be a very short one. They have just won the World Cup once in 1966 and have not lifted any major silverware since.
The Three Lions have only ever failed to qualify for three World Cups in 1974, 1978 and 1994. They have been in the last seven tournaments and have not reached the final in any of them.
When it comes to the European Championship, they have never won that competition and have only reached the final once and that was in 2021 for Euro 2020 when they lost on penalties to Italy.
Despite not winning more than one major competition, it has not been all doom and gloom for England at the Euros.
Most of us will remember the glorious summer of 1996 when football nearly came home. England hosted Euro 96 and everyone believed that success was around the corner.
The Paul Gascoigne goal against Scotland, the 4-1 drubbing of the Netherlands and the Stuart Pearce penalty against Spain made it a summer to remember.
Unfortunately, the semi-final loss to Germany with Southgate missing a penalty also made it a night to forget. Southgate would love to erase the hurt of missing that spot kick by winning some silverware. That miss would be forgotten entirely if Southgate and Kane were to hold aloft the trophy this summer.
In the Euros, England have failed to get out of the group stages on four occasions and that’s why the last tournament was such a success because they had never been in the final before.
Below is a table of England’s form in all their major tournament appearances and how they exited the competition.

The England manager is like Marmite, some love him and the rest want him banished and removed immediately.
It does look like this could be Southgate’s last major tournament as England manager. This will probably happen even if England wins Euro 2024. It looks like he has taken England as far as he can and it is time for some new blood - but who could it be?
Below is a brief look at some of the managers that could replace Southgate and the odds of that happening.
Eddie Howe has been tipped to be the England manager ever since he was at Bournemouth. Many thought he would have replaced Southgate earlier, but he returned to management with Newcastle United instead.
Yes, he had money at Newcastle, but he has transformed the club in recent years. Imagine what he could do with all the English talent at his disposal.
Not so long ago, Graham Potter was all the rage. He did an amazing job at both Swansea City and Brighton and Hove Albion, but it all soured when he was approached by Chelsea.
He only took charge of 31 games at Stamford Bridge, winning 11 before he was sacked. He is yet to return to management, so if England were looking for a new boss then there would be no negotiations with other clubs in order for him to break a contract.
You always need a real outsider in a betting market like this and that is what Jurgen Klopp would be.
The German is leaving Liverpool at the end of the Premier League season and he has admitted he needs a rest, but other managers have changed their mind before so why not Klopp?
Klopp would win the fans around quite quickly with his attacking style of play. It could be a marriage made in heaven. Stranger things have happened.
This one is not as crazy as it first seems. Sarina Weigman is the last England manager to win a major trophy and the only England manager to guide the national team to two successive finals.
Whether society as a whole would accept a woman managing a men’s team is yet to be seen, but she is a very good manager and gets the best out of her players. We feel she is a better fit than some of the men in the list.
Next England Manager | Odds |
---|---|
Eddie Howe | 6/1 |
Graham Potter | 8/1 |
Pep Guardiola | 9/1 |
Lee Carsley | 9/1 |
Steve Cooper | 14/1 |
Steven Gerrard | 14/1 |
Jurgen Klopp | 16/1 |
Sarina Weigman | 16/1 |
Jose Mourinho | 20/1 |
Thomas Tuchel | 20/1 |
Mauricio Pochettino | 20/1 |
Watching England lift a major trophy would be amazing, and although it has been said before we think the odds of England winning Euro 2024 are very good indeed.
Much has been made of the golden generation England had and wasted with David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes and Michael Owen, but it feels there is another generation of talent coming through.
Jude Bellingham is one of - if not the - best player in the world at the moment. This kid is exceptional. If Southgate goes and builds his team around Bellingham and Declan Rice, then there is no reason why England cannot win Euro 2024.
England are favourites for a reason and this time it is not through blind loyalty. With Rice, Bellingham, Saka, Foden and Kane in the starting XI, then England can win the tournament and they could do it quite comfortably.
There will be quite a few Euro 2024 betting bonuses focused on England before and during the tournament. One impressive offer sees the BetMGM Money Back As A Free Bet On Every England Game. This allows new and existing customers the chance to claim a free bet up to £5 on each England game if their initial bet builder fails to come in.
