We’ve covered England previously, so now Ladbrokes takes you through France’s Euro 2024 squad, their chances of winning the tournament this summer, and what we expect their starting line-up to look like.
France are third favourites for Euro 2024 at 11/4. Les Blues are behind Spain (15/8) and England (5/2), but behind Netherlands (9/2).
France have some of the best players in the world on their books, and after the heartbreak of losing on penalties in the 2022 World Cup final, Kylian Mbappe and co will be eager to get back to winning ways and emerge victorious in Euro 2024.
Ladbrokes takes you through the 26-man squad for France at Euro 2024, as well as a suggestion for their starting XI.

Below is the 26-man squad that Didier Deschamps has confirmed that he's taking to Germany as he attempts to bring the Euros back to Paris.
The real surprise in the 26-man squad is return of Kante, who moved to Saudi Arabia from Chelsea last year and hasn't featured for his national team since 2022. However, Deschamps clearly thinks he still has enough to offer.
Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea definitely has the ability to to warrant a place, but the lack of football he’s place this season since his move to England means that he’s nowhere near match fit enough to get onto the plane, and will have to wait until the World Cup in 2026 to play international football at a major tournament again.
Now we’ve gone through the 26-man squad, let’s look at the starting line-up that Didier Deschamps should view as his strongest ahead of Euro 2024.
France are stacked at centre-back, with Upamecano, Salina and Konate fighting it out for two starting places, but we think we’ve come up with a team that provides the most balance and stability, as well as attacking threat, which is usually what’s needed to win international tournaments.

Our team has Maignan in goal, with Kounde starting at right-back next to Saliba and Konate, with Upamecano waiting in the wings to come in if required. At left-back it’s Theo Hernandez, who’ll look to provide some attacking threat, whilst still being focused on his defensive duties.
There’s no surprises in midfield, with Camavinga getting the nod over Rabiot and Zaire-Emery, whilst Giroud retains his place at France’s number nine, allowing Dembele to play on the right and Thuram to start off the left, replacing Mbappe who is set to miss at least the key two games after breaking his nose in France's opener against Austria.
France are 9/2 to win Euro 2024 as the third-favourites, behind Germany and England who have slightly shorter odds. Many felt as if Mbappe would drag France to the final, but the Real Madrid star missing one of the games with a broken nose meant that Les Blues didn't win their group, which many expected to be a formality.
Griezmann will also be pivotal if France want to win Euro 2024. Without the Atltetico Madrid man during the most recent international break, France flattered to deceive, and will be relying on the former Barcelona attacker to stay fit if they want to win the Euros for the first time since 2000.
France kicked off their tournament games on June 17 when they faced an in-form Austria side managed by Ralf Ragnick, who is believed to have rejected a move to Bayern Munich for the 2024/25 season, beating them 1-0. They then drew 0-0 with the Netherlands, the game that Mbappe missed, before also drawing 1-1 with Poland upon his return.
France then narrowly beat Belgium 1-0 in the last 16, another nation who failed to win their group despite being the heavy favourites to do so. After they won, France progressed to the final eight where they played Portugal. It took penalties, but Deschamps' men managed to emerge victorious, and now they'll play Spain on July 9 with a spot in the final up for grabs.
Ladbrokes recently looked at the betting odds for each of the countries competing in Euro 2024, starting England at 5/2 and working our way down to the Netherlands the bookies have priced at 9/2.
