The 6th European Football Championships were hosted by Italy and in 1976, the finals were expanded to 8 teams. 7 teams had to qualify to join Italy in finals who automatically qualified as the host nation. The additional teams also meant a change in format. There were 2 groups of 4 teams who all played each other once. The group winners would go straight into the final and the runner's-up into a 3rd place play-off. There were no semi-finals.
