The World Cup is the biggest tournament on the planet, but the UEFA Euro is likely the second biggest.

This massive event features the top European countries assembling their most talented rosters to attempt to stake the claim to being the top football nation on the continent. While we are still months away from kickoff, the stage is set. Group draws have been established, and favourites have been picked.
Most sportsbooks have released their list of the teams with the top odds of winning. The tournament is set to kick off in June 2024 in Germany; let's take a look at some of the teams that sportsbooks are giving the best chance of winning this pivotal tournament.
England
England has never won the Euro tournament before. They have come awfully close, including in 2021 when they lost to Italy in the finals in penalty kicks. However, there is a lot of optimism around this iteration of the team, and they are currently considered the co-favourite on most of the best sports betting sites. England will bring a hugely talented roster with world-class players to the tournament. While final decisions haven't been reached, it is likely their team will include stars like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka. They will be determined to achieve their first major international tournament win in decades.
France
France is the other co-favourite, tied with England for the top odds of winning the tournament. They share a group with the Netherlands, which is also a top team, but France has too much talent not to make a run. This French team has been dominant in major tournaments, including winning the 2018 World Cup and finishing as the runner-up in 2022. This French team will bring arguably the most talented team of the tournament to Germany. Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Olivier Giroud, and Antoine Griezmann will be too much for most defences to handle. Anything short of a run to the semi-finals would be a disappointing result for France.
Germany
Historically, no team has fared better than Germany in the Euro tournament. They have won three times and finished as the runner-up several more. And now, they’ll be hosting. They will play their games at ten stadiums across the country, which means there will be supporters cheering them on every step of the way. Germany will also be bringing a world-class roster filled with top-end players like Leroy Sane, Joshua Kimmich, and Serge Gnabry. After a tough result in the 2022 World Cup, Germany will be looking to get back to their winning ways in front of a home crowd. Oddsmakers give them a good chance of succeeding.
Spain
Spain is another team that consistently seems to perform well in the Euro tournament. They finished as the winner in two of the last four tournaments and also made a run to the semi-finals last year. While their roster doesn’t have the same level of talent as it did in the country’s golden age, they still have some of the best players on the planet. Rodri and Gavi give them one of the best midfields of any team in the tournament, and they play a disciplined, responsible brand that likely will lead to a good result. They will now look to reclaim their status as one of the superpowers of European soccer.
Portugal
There will be plenty of headlines around this Portuguese side during the 2024 Euro tournament. This is because it will likely be world-class striker Cristiano Ronaldo's final major international tournament with the squad. Ronaldo will look to claim his second Euro victory, and he will have the talent around him to do it. This Portugal squad will have many elite attackers, including Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, and Bernardo Silva. They will certainly be one of the hardest squads to contain in the tournament. Could Ronaldo and this high-potential group secure one last magical run?
Belgium
Belgium has never won a Euro tournament. Many doubt that this will be the year they are able to do so. After many years of being one of the favourites, Belgium’s top players are aging. There are questions about their ability to compete against the best. But in what looks like one of the weakest groups in the tournament, do not sleep on Belgium. They still have incredible players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, even if they have gotten older. They will bring a new approach this year after some disappointing results and hope that their talent can carry them.
