Twenty-eight participants (the top two teams from each of the fourteen groups in the first round) will compete in seven groups of the League A in autumn 2025 for seven spots at the final tournament, which will take place in Albania during the summer. The host nation has automatically qualified for the event but still participated in the qualification process.

The remaining teams will participate in League B and compete for places in League A of the first qualifying round for Euro-2027 (U-19).

It is worth noting that Euro-2025 (U-17) will serve as a qualifier for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will feature 48 teams in Qatar.
