Shaw was included in the England squad for UEFA Euro 2020. On 11 July 2021, Shaw scored the fastest ever goal in a European Championship final, against Italy in the UEFA Euro 2020 Final, with just two minutes on the clock. However, his early goal was not enough to give England their first major title in 55 years, as Italy emerged victorious in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw in extra time.
