The 54-year-old led the Three Lions to consecutive European Championship finals in 2020 and 2024 and the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.
Former England manager Gareth Southgate has described receiving a knighthood for his services to football as an "amazing honour".
Sir Gareth, who led the Three Lions to consecutive European Championship finals in 2020 and 2024 and the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, accepted the honour from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
He becomes only the fourth England boss to be knighted, after Sir Walter Winterbottom, Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson.
Asked how it felt to be knighted, Sir Gareth said he was "more emotional than I thought I might be" and the occasion was an "amazing honour".
He said managing his country for eight years was "an amazing privilege" but admitted he was "not missing that either".
The 54-year-old, who is the only manager of the England men's team to reach two major finals, resigned from the role following a 2-1 Euro final defeat to Spain in July last year.
'We've broken down so many barriers'
Reflecting on his spell in charge, Sir Gareth said: "We've broken down so many barriers to winning.
"Ultimately, we didn't quite get to where we wanted to, but we're in a great position now to take things forward."
Sir Gareth was succeeded as manager by Thomas Tuchel ahead of next year's World Cup, when it will be 60 years since Sir Alf Ramsey's side won the trophy in what is still the England men's team's only major honour.
Asked how he assessed the squad's chances heading into the tournament, Sir Gareth said: "What I learned doing the job is it's important that people on the outside respect the space inside, so best that I stay out of the way and let them get on with it."
Under Sir Gareth, England ended its 55-year wait for a men's final at Euro 2020, delayed 12 months by COVID , before being agonisingly beaten on penalties by Italy at Wembley.
A late defeat to Spain three years later saw the side again miss out on silverware.

Sir Gareth, who was recognised for his services to football in the New Year Honours in December, took charge of 102 England matches in total to add to the 57 caps he won for the national team as a player between 1995 and 2004.
He also paid tribute to Prince William, who is president of the FA, describing him as a "genuine football fan" and an "amazing supporter" of both England and Aston Villa, who Sir Gareth played for during his 16-year career.
"He kindly thanked me for what I'd done," he said.
这位54岁的主帅率领英格兰队（绰号“三狮军团”）接连闯入2020年和2024年欧洲杯决赛，并带领球队打进2018年世界杯半决赛。
前英格兰队主教练加雷斯·索斯盖特表示，因对足球事业的贡献而被授予爵士头衔是"无上的荣耀"。
加雷斯爵士于周三在温莎城堡接受了威尔士亲王授予的荣誉。他曾率领英格兰队（三狮军团）连续闯入2020年和2024年欧洲杯决赛，并在2018年世界杯中晋级四强。
他成为继沃尔特·温特伯顿爵士、阿尔夫·拉姆齐爵士和博比·罗布森爵士之后，第四位获封爵士头衔的英格兰队主帅。
当被问及受封爵士的感受时，加雷思爵士表示自己"比预想的更为激动"，并称这一时刻是"无上的荣耀"。
他表示，治理国家八年是"一份非凡的殊荣"，但也坦言自己"并不怀念那段时光"。
这位54岁的教练是英格兰男足国家队历史上唯一一位率队闯入两届大赛决赛的主帅。在去年7月以1比2负于西班牙、痛失欧洲杯冠军后，他宣布辞去主帅职务。
'我们已经打破了如此多的壁垒'
回顾自己的任期时，加雷思爵士表示：“我们已扫除了诸多通往胜利的障碍。”
虽然我们最终未能完全达成预期目标，但目前已处于推动事业前进的有利位置。
加雷斯爵士卸任后，托马斯·图赫尔接棒成为主教练，备战明年世界杯。届时距离阿尔夫·拉姆齐爵士率领英格兰男足夺冠将满60周年——这仍是该队历史上唯一的重要荣誉。
当被问及如何评估球队在本次锦标赛中的前景时，加雷斯爵士表示："通过这份工作我学到，外界尊重内部空间很重要，所以我最好不插手，让他们放手去做。"
在加雷斯·索斯盖特爵士的带领下，英格兰队结束了长达55年的等待，闯入了因新冠疫情推迟12个月举办的2020年欧洲杯男子足球决赛，最终在温布利球场点球大战中惜败于意大利队。
三年后，这支球队在最后关头负于西班牙队，再次与冠军奖杯失之交臂。

加雷斯爵士在12月的新年授勋名单中因对足球事业的贡献而获得表彰。他作为主教练共执教了102场英格兰队比赛，此外他在1995年至2004年期间作为球员还曾57次代表国家队出战。
他还向英足总主席威廉王子致敬，称其是“真正的足球爱好者”，也是英格兰队和加雷斯爵士效力16年的阿斯顿维拉队的“杰出支持者”。
他说道：“他亲切地感谢我所做的一切。”
