The Ukrainian national team, which finished third in its qualifying group for Euro-2024 and thus failed to qualify directly for the final tournament, has a chance to secure a spot through the League of Nations playoffs.

As of now, 21 participants in the final stage are known. Bucket 1: Germany (host), Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England, bucket 2: Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria, bucket 3: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, bucket 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland.

Three more teams (to be placed in bucket 4) will be determined in the spring after playoff matches involving group winners from the League of Nations. The playoffs will take place across three tiers—Leagues A, B, and C—with a knockout format based on team rankings using a 1–4 and 2–3 draw system (in semifinals, higher-ranked teams host, while in finals, hosts are drawn).

If the group winner of the League of Nations has already qualified for Euro-2024 through this tournament's qualification process, its place in the playoffs will be taken by the next highest-ranked team in that division. If there are fewer than four teams remaining who can participate in the playoff matches, the license is passed down to the lower league based on overall rankings in the League of Nations (priority given to the best team from League D). Thus, each of the three playoffs will have its own winner, which will become a participant in Euro-2024.
