- England is the first side in Euros history to reach the final despite trailing in both the quarterfinal and semifinal en route.
- Jude Bellingham's equalizer against Slovakia at 94:34 was England's first shot on target vs Slovakia. It was England's latest ever goal in normal time at a major tournament.
- Phil Foden has made the third-most passes in the attacking third (118), but has yet to provide a goal contribution.
- Harry Kane has played 17 Euros games, which is the most in team history. Kane's six EURO goals are tied for second-most in team history with Wayne Rooney (Alan Shearer: 7).
- Kane became the first England men's player with five goals each at Euros and the World Cup, extending his team record with 14 major-tournament goals. He's also the team's third player to score at four major tournaments (Rooney, Michael Owen).
- Kane's 65 international goals are the most in team history, 12 ahead of Wayne Rooney. The rest of England's EURO squad has a combined 41 international goals.

- Spain is the only back-to-back winner of the tournament (2008 and 2012).

- Spain is the second nation to reach five Euros finals; Germany has six.
- Spain is unbeaten in 12 straight Euros matches since losing to Italy in the Round of 16 at Euro 2016 (8W-4D-0L).
- Spain is the second side to win all three of its group stage games at a Euros finals without conceding; eventual champion Italy also did so at Euro 2020.

- Dani Olmo became the first Spaniard to score two goals as a substitute at a single edition of the Euros, and third at any major tournament, after Fernando Morientes at the 2002 World Cup and Álvaro Morata at the 2022 World Cup. Olmo leads the Golden Boot race with three goals (and two assists), tied on goals with Harry Kane.
- Nico Williams became the first player on record at the Euros (since 1980) to score a goal, assist a goal, and complete 100% of his passes (46/46) in a game he started (vs. Denmark).
