Playoff format

The Nations League/Euro 2024 play-offs will be held according to the cup system (two semi-finals and a final) in three branches - Leagues A, B and C. If the winner of the LN group has already made it to Euro 2024 through qualification for this tournament, his place in the play - off will be the next ranked team in this division. If there are less than four teams left in the group stage, the ticket will be awarded by the league below, taking into account the overall ranking in the Nations League (priority will be given to the best team in League D). Thus, each of the three playoffs will have its own winner, who will become a participant in Euro-2024. 

The draw for the final tournament of the European Championship will be held in December 2023, and the forum itself will last from June 14 to July 14, 2024.
