In total, there are 28 teams in League A (including eight who moved from League B following the results of the second round of selection for the 2021/2022 season, which ended this spring). They are divided into seven groups. The teams of each group play in the same arena in the format of mini-tournaments.

The fourth-placed teams will continue the season in the second round in League B. The seeding of the participants before the second round will depend on the places in their groups the teams will occupy in the first round. Belgium also takes part in the competition, despite a direct ticket to the finals, which belongs to them as hosts.

League B teams (including those relegated from League A in the second round of the 2021/2022 season, as well as Gibraltar, who are participating in UEFA Women's tournaments for the first time) will compete for promotion to League A in seven groups. The winners of the groups will move to the higher division.

It should be noted that the youth women's national team of Ukraine kept its place in League A, having finished third in their group of the second round of Euro-2022 qualifying.
