Paths to Euro 2024 through the Nations League

According to the previous scheme, which still needs to be ratified by UEFA's Executive Committee, 20 slots for the final tournament of Euro 2024 (which automatically includes Germany as hosts) will go to winners and second-placed teams from ten qualifying groups. Three more licenses will be awarded in March 2024 through a two-legged playoff among twelve of the best national teams from the Nations League 2022/2023 (among those who do not qualify directly for Euro).
