As of 2023, Hungary have appeared in four UEFA European Championships, with an upcoming fifth appearance in 2024. At the 1964 European Nations' Cup, they finished third after winning their play-off against Denmark, and at Euro 1972 they placed fourth.

In the 2016 edition, Hungary finished in the round of 16, after winning the group. This was their best result in nearly four decades. They qualified again for Euro 2020 and were one of the eleven chosen host countries, but were eliminated in the group stage.
