How does EURO 2024 qualifying work?
The qualifying draw takes place in Frankfurt on Sunday 9 October 2022. With Germany already qualified as hosts and Russia currently suspended, the 53 remaining teams will be split into ten groups: seven groups of five teams and three groups of six teams. The top two from each group will qualify for the final tournament.

Do the groups change or get adapted for any reason?
Yes. There are five country pairings which is prohibited: Armenia/Azerbaijan, Belarus/Ukraine, Gibraltar/Spain, Kosovo/Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo/Serbia. Also, a maximum of two winter venues may be drawn into the same group: Belarus, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Norway. Finally, several country pairings have been declared to represent an excessive travel distance. A maximum of one such pair may be drawn into the same group.

Which teams contest the EURO 2024 play-offs?
Three of the 24 places at UEFA EURO 2024 will be determined by play-off spots via the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League, as per the regulations. Twelve teams will be selected based on their performance in the 2022/23 Nations League – nominally the group winners of Leagues A, B and C, but if they have already qualified they will be replaced by the next best-ranked team in their league. If there are not enough non-qualified teams in the same league, then it filters down to the next league, finishing with League D.
