Here's what to know about the final and the finalists:
Which teams have made it to the final? - The finalists are Spain and England. England also reached the final of the previous edition of the tournament, in 2021, but lost to Italy in a penalty shootout. Spain hasn't gotten this far in the European Championship since it won the tournament in 2012.
Have those countries won the European Championship before? - Spain has won the tournament three times, including back-to-back trophies in 2008 and 2012. Many regard the Spanish as the favorites to win this year after they defeated host nation Germany in the quarterfinals and 2022 World Cup finalist France in the semifinals.
England has never won the European Championship. Its only major title is the 1966 World Cup.
