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

According to the draw results for the League of Nations/Euro-2024 play-offs, the blue and yellow team will take Path B, where they will face Bosnia and Herzegovina away on March 21. Kick-off is at 9:45 PM Kyiv time. The venue for this match will be announced soon.

In case of success in this encounter, the Ukrainian national team will play for a Euro-2024 spot against the winner of the Israel vs Iceland duel on March 26 at home. Kick-off is also at 9:45 PM Kyiv time.

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

Three more national teams (will enter basket 4) will be determined in the spring after knockout matches involving group winners of the League of Nations. The play-offs will take place in three branches, Leagues A, B and C, following a one-off cup system with consideration for the ranking of participants according to the 1—4 and 2—3 draw (in semifinals the higher-ranked teams are home).

If the group winner of the League of Nations has already qualified for Euro-2024 through this tournament's qualification, its place in the play-offs goes to the next highest ranked team in that division. If there are fewer than four national teams remaining who can participate in knockout matches, the license is passed down a league with consideration given to the overall ranking in the League of Nations (priority — best-ranked team from League D). Thus, each of the three play-offs will have its own winner, which will become a participant in Euro-2024. 

The formation of groups for the final tournament of Euro will take place on December 2 (7 PM), and the championship itself will run from June 14 to July 14, 2024.
