The UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifying group stage is well underway, with the top 20 teams set to automatically qualify for the finals after a set of fixtures that will conclude in November this year. A number of teams have already joined hosts Germany at the tournament, completing their qualification with games to spare. However, there are still several teams that have work to do during the November window, with some holding out hope that they will be guaranteed a qualifying playoff place in March 2024, even if they do not finish in the required top two places of their group.
In a breakdown of how Euro 2024 qualification works, the Sporting News explains that out of the 53 teams vying for qualification, 23 will ultimately proceed to the finals, alongside hosts Germany. The teams attempting to qualify have been split across 10 qualifying groups, seven containing five teams, and three comprising six. The top two teams from each group will qualify, making up 20 places in the finals. The remaining three spots will go to the winners of playoff games, which will take place between teams who have performed best in the 2022/23 Nations League. The group winners of Leagues A, B, and C in the Nations League will be awarded those playoff spots, if they have not already qualified for Euro 2024. If they have, the next best-ranked team in their Nations League group will reach the playoffs. If those teams have also already qualified, places will filter down to the next league, finishing with League D.
The article goes on to detail the teams that have qualified for Euro 2024, and discusses which teams need what to qualify next, and which teams are at risk of missing out entirely.
The final qualifying matches are expected to take place between Wednesday, November 15 and Tuesday, November 21, completing the list of qualified teams for Euro 2024. The group standings are continuously updated on the Sporting News, providing fans with all the details they need to keep track of their favorite teams.
