Spain have won the most UEFA European Championships (four titles).{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/winners/ |title=Most titles |website=UEFA |access-date=29 January 2024 |archive-date=7 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607092731/https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/winners/ |url-status=live }} La Roja are also the only nation to date to have won consecutive championships. They have hosted the tournament once, in 1964 (one city was used to host games at Euro 2020) and have appeared in a total of twelve tournaments.

The team won their first international trophy on home soil in 1964, defeating the Soviet Union 2–1.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17451950 |title=Euro 1964: A forgotten Spanish triumph |author=Mandeep Sanghera |website=BBC Sport |date=12 May 2012 |access-date=29 January 2024 |archive-date=24 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221224233420/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17451950 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tables/64e.html |title=European Championship 1964 |website=RSSSF |access-date=29 January 2024 |archive-date=29 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240129160501/https://www.rsssf.org/tables/64e.html |url-status=live }} Spain would reach the final twenty years later in 1984, where they would lose the final to France. Spain would not reach the final again until 2008, where they would defeat Germany 1–0. Four years later, Spain earned back-to-back titles, comprehensively defeating Italy 4–0 in the final in Kyiv.

It would take La Roja twelve years to reach another European final, doing so in 2024 against England, a match they won 2–1 to stand alone as the most successful national team in the competition's history with four titles while at the same time becoming the first team ever to win all seven matches in a single tournament.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-14 |title=Spain wins record fourth European Championship title by inflicting another painful loss on England |url=https://apnews.com/article/spain-england-euro-2024-final-dc46b104e6bf3b94b7d6d70e18f8220d |access-date=2024-07-15 |website=AP News |language=en |archive-date=14 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240714215223/https://apnews.com/article/spain-england-euro-2024-final-dc46b104e6bf3b94b7d6d70e18f8220d |url-status=live }}
