Format for Euro-2027 (U-19) Qualifiers.

This season UEFA is conducting the youth qualifiers under a new system: instead of two stages there are now three. The first round took place in spring 2026, the second is ongoing in autumn 2026, and the third will take place in spring 2027. This format will also be used for future seasons.

Participants are divided into two divisions, League A and League B. The composition of the leagues for the first round was determined by the results of the second qualifying round for Euro-2025 (U-17). Ukraine's team then secured third place in the elite round group and retained its spot in League A.

The Second Qualifying Round takes place from November 11 to 17:

  • League A. 28 teams are divided into seven groups of four. The top three teams in each group remain in League A for the third round. If a spot becomes available (for example, due to Czech Republic, which has already qualified as hosts), it is given to the best fourth-placed team from League A.
  • League B. 26 teams are divided into five groups of four and two groups of three. The winners of all League B groups advance to League A for the third round.

Each group plays a single round-robin tournament in one of the participating countries.

The Third Round and Final Stage. The third round will resemble the former elite round: 28 teams are divided into seven groups of four, with group winners advancing to the final tournament along with hosts. The draw for the third round will take place on December 10, 2026, and matches will be played in spring 2027. The final stage in Czech Republic is scheduled from June 18 to July 1, 2027.
