The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group E was one of nine groups drawn to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament. Group E consisted of six teams: England, Switzerland, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, and San Marino, who played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.
The top two teams, England and Switzerland, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Slovenia were not the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they lost to Ukraine and thus failed to qualify.
England won all ten of their matches becoming only the fifth national side to qualify for a European Championship with a 100% record, and the sixth instance, after France (1992 and 2004), Czech Republic (2000), Germany and Spain (both 2012).
