The '''2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship''' (also known as '''UEFA Under-21 Euro 2023''') was the 24th edition of the [[UEFA European Under-21 Championship]] (27th edition if the Under-23 era is also included), the biennial international youth [[Association football|football]] championship organised by [[UEFA]] for the men's under-21 national teams of Europe. A total of 16 teams played in the final tournament, and only players born on or after 1 January 2000 were eligible to participate.<ref name="regulations">{{cite web|url=https://documents.uefa.com/viewer/book-attachment/UHURcUy4suMkqZq5e_fvxw/d0QswBzyaD0YfufbYgJkYw|title=2021–23 UEFA European Under-21 Championship regulations|publisher=UEFA}}</ref>

The tournament was co-hosted by [[Romania]] and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]].<ref name="hosts">{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under21/news/0264-11009128e358-6de79f43e540-1000--romania-and-georgia-to-host-2023-u21-finals/|title=Romania and Georgia to host 2023 Under-21 EURO|publisher=UEFA.com|date=3 December 2020}}</ref> Romania hosted the opening match, while Georgia hosted the final. Romania already hosted the [[1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship]].

As with previous Under-21 Championships held one year prior to the Olympic Games, this tournament served as European qualifying for the [[Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|2024 Summer Olympics]]. Besides [[France Olympic football team|France]], which qualified automatically as Olympic hosts, eligible teams competed for qualifying (3 berths) for the men's football tournament of the 2024 Summer Olympics, where they will be represented by their under-23 national teams with a maximum of three overage players allowed.

[[Germany national under-21 football team|Germany]] were the defending champion, but they were not able to defend their title after being eliminated in the group stage.

[[England national under-21 football team|England]] won their third title by defeating [[Spain national under-21 football team|Spain]] 1–0 in the [[2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship final|final]]. They became the first team to win the UEFA European Under-21 Championship without conceding a single goal in the entire tournament.<ref>{{cite web |title=England U21 1–0 Spain U21: England win Under-21 Euros for first time in 39 years |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66127349 |website=BBC Sport |access-date=8 July 2023 |date=8 July 2023|first=Alex|last=Howell}}</ref>

== Knockout stage ==
In the knockout stage, [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]] and a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] were used to decide the winners if necessary. As [[France national under-21 football team|France]] qualified as hosts and [[England national under-21 football team|England]] were ineligible for the [[Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics|2024 Summer Olympics]], their results were used to determine whether an Olympic play-off match would be required and who would participate.<ref name="regulations"/>
