Summary of Qualifying.

Format
All UEFA member associations are eligible to compete in the qualifying competition, with the hosts qualifying directly to the finals tournament. The other 54 teams are drawn into ten groups of five teams (Groups A–J) and one group of four teams (Group K). The group winners and the runners-up, and the best third-placed team (which cannot come from Group K) directly qualify to the finals.

Seeding system
For the qualifying group stage, the teams were seeded into six pots for the qualifying group stage draw according to their UELA rankings, with the host nation automatically seeded into Pot 1 as a placeholder. All teams in Pot 1 are located to their groups, followed by Pot 2, 3, and so on until Pot 6 is empty.

Schedule
 Matches take place from Thursday to Saturday.  Kick-off times are largely set at 18:00 and 20:45 CET on Saturdays, and 20:45 CET on Thursdays and Fridays.  Matches in the same group are played on the same day.

There are eight matchdays for the qualifying group stage.

UELA themselves decided each group's fixture list, released the same day as the draw.

Seeding
The seeding pots were announced on X August 20XX.

The draw took place at the X, on X August 20xx, 12:00 CET.

Ranking of third-placed teams
The highest ranked third-placed team from the groups directly qualified for the tournament, while the remainder are eliminated. As Group K contained four teams and the rest contained five, the third-placed team in that group was not allowed to. As a result, a total of eight matches played by each team count toward the purpose of the third-placed ranking table.

X became the best third-placed team, after winning against X in its last match.
