The Tottenham striker, who scored 17 goals in 38 appearances last season, was selected in the 23-man squad for the championships in Poland and Ukraine.
And Defoe, capped 46 times by England, is relishing the prospect of representing his country in a second major tournament following his part in the 2010 World Cup.
The 29-year-old said: "I thought the World Cup was a fantastic experience and to have the opportunity represent England at another major tournament is amazing.
"I always remember watching the tournaments on TV, watching Euro 96 and to be part of it now is something special.
"I'm delighted because I knew last summer I had a massive season coming up and I worked hard on my fitness to be as sharp as possible. I think that work has paid off."
