This article characterizes the features and identifies the differences among the Eurosceptic political groups in the current convocation (2019-2024) of the European Parliament. These include The Left in the European Parliament - GUE/NGL, the European Conservatives and Reformists and the Identity and Democracy. The text compares the ideological foundations of the groups and their results in the elections of different years, as well as assesses the problems and prospects for further development. Separately, the most represented among the non-inscrits national Eurosceptic party the Fidesz - Hungarian Civic Alliance is considered. The author comes to the conclusion about the dominance of soft and right-wing Euroscepticism at the present stage, significant heterogeneity among left-wing Eurosceptics, comparatively positive prospects for conservatives and reformists even after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, as well as about the determining importance of the attitude of member parties towards Russia in the distribution parties between groups in the European Parliament.
