European qualifying

Format:

The winners of the nine qualifying groups progressed directly to the finals with the runners-up taking part in the UEFA play-offs on 6 and 11 October 2022.

In the play-offs, the three best runners-up were seeded directly to round 2 of the play-offs. The six remaining runners-up contested three single-leg play-offs in round 1.

The three winners from round 1 and the three teams seeded directly to round 2 then competed in single-leg play-offs determined by a draw.

The two play-off winners with the highest ranking (based on results in the qualifying group stage and round 2 play-offs; Switzerland and Republic of Ireland) qualified for the finals. The remaining play-off winner (Portugal) compete in the inter-confederation play-offs in New Zealand.
