Germany's honours stretch from 1954 to 2017 - 63 years between the first trophy on record and the most recent. Generations of players, one shirt. The team has been to 20 World Cups.

Germany currently sit No. 6 in the world ranking with 1785 points. Ranking points have moved from 1693 to 1778 across the period on record here, which is the honest way to describe a national side: not fixed, just always rebuilding.

The fixtures on this page are listed newest first, and September 2026 is the most recent. Read as a run rather than as isolated results, 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losss tell the same story as the table but with the noise removed.

The venues on record are Munich, Rome, Oslo. Away fixtures in this window were played in front of the loudest crowds a national side can face, and the score lines above are the reason coaches talk about managing travel and crowds as part of a campaign. Every one of these is a competitive fixture rather than a friendly, which is the context the ranking on this page is built from.

Germany do not play one competition. The list on this page runs: the World Cup itself, the European Championship, the World Cup qualifying campaign.

Qualifying is the part supporters never see and every supporter judges. Germany currently sit No. 6 in the world with 1785 points, and the gap between one ranking place and the next is a handful of points - which is why a single bad qualifying run changes the way an entire campaign is remembered. Germany have won four World Cups and three European Championships, and hold the record for the most semi-final appearances at major tournaments.
