Qualifying of Pay offs

teams that lose in the group stage of UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying can still qualify for the final tournament via the play-offs. Leagues A, B and C of the UEFA Nations League have secured one of the three remaining spots for UEFA Euro 2024. The four teams in each of these leagues that have not yet qualified for the final of the European Championship compete in their game of league. Off in March 2024 Play-off places will be awarded first to the group winners and, if group winners have already qualified for the European Championship final, to the runner-up in the league.

UEFA European Championship link

In October and November 2020, play-offs were held for leagues A, B, C and D respectively. Each group winner secured a place in the semi-finals.If the group winner was already one of the 20 qualifying teams, the table was used to award a play-off spot to another team from that league. If fewer than four teams from across the league remained unqualified, the play-off spots for that league were awarded to teams from the next lower division. This determined the remaining four qualifying places for the European Championship (out of a total of 24). However, as of UEFA Euro 2024[17] the now reduced league D will no longer have its own path, but instead if any of leagues A, B or C has fewer than four teams that did not directly qualify for Euro 2024, the highest-ranking group winners in League D qualify for the play-offs (unless that team has already qualified for the final tournament). The remaining places will be awarded based on the Nations League standings, however the group winners of Leagues A, B and C cannot play against teams from a higher league. This means that other Division D teams can only advance to the playoffs if enough Division C teams qualify directly.
