When is the next Euros and how often does it happen?

This year's Euro 2020 has captured the nation and excitement has reached fever pitch after months of coronavirus lockdown.

Scotland were back playing in a major international tournament for the first time since 1998, after 23 years of near misses and glorious failure.

But it wasn't to be, and Scotland's dream of making history came to an end with a heartbreaking defeat by Croatia at Hampden Stadium.

It means Scotland's record of having never qualified for the knockout stage of a major tournament continues.

The UEFA European Football Championship, more commonly referred to as the Euros, was supposed to take place 12 months ago only for the pandemic to postpone it until 2021.

This year's tournament ends with the final at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, July 11 - so when is the next one?

When is the next Euros?

Three-time winners Germany will stage the UEFA European Championship in 2024.

How will qualifying work?

Germany qualify as hosts, leaving a total of 23 finals berths to be filled via the European Qualifiers which run from March to November 2023, and via play-offs scheduled for March 2024.

The format will be the same as for UEFA EURO 2020. The top two in each of the six final tournament groups will proceed to the round of 16 along with the four best third-placed finishers.

What are the key dates?

December 2023: final tournament draw
June-July 2024: UEFA EURO 2024 final tournament

FIFA World Cup 2022

The next FIFA World Cup is in 2022 in Qatar, with qualifying currently still taking place.

Scotland sits second in Group F with Denmark leading. The next round of matches is scheduled in September.
