Euro 2024 Qualification: Groups, Table and Fixtures Overview
The road to the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament is taking shape across Europe. Twenty‑four nations will compete for the coveted spots, with hosts Germany already secured a place. The qualification phase is organized into ten groups, each featuring a round‑robin schedule that determines which teams advance to the final tournament and the subsequent Round of 16.
How the Qualification Groups Are Structured
UEFA has divided the 55 eligible national teams into ten groups – five groups of five teams (Groups A‑E) and five groups of six teams (Groups F‑J). Each group plays a double‑legged format, meaning every nation faces its opponents at home and away. Points are awarded in the standard manner: three for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss.
- Group winners qualify directly for Euro 2024.
- Runners‑up enter the play‑offs, where three spots are decided.
- The remaining three best third‑placed teams also join the play‑offs.
This structure guarantees that a total of 23 teams will join Germany in the tournament, creating a balanced 24‑team final field.
