2025-27 Under-21 EURO qualifying groups: Matches start 5 June

The 2025-27 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying group stage will begin on 5 June.

On that day Kazakhstan play Andorra, who also visit Moldova on 10 June in Group 4, with Estonia vs Faroe Islands on 7 June in Group 3. The first full set games across the nine groups are on 4 and 5 September, and run until 6 October 2026, followed by play-offs the following month ahead of the final tournament in summer 2027 in Albania and Serbia.

The nine group winners and the runner-up with the best record (not counting results against sixth-placed teams) qualify directly for the final tournament to join co-hosts Albania and Serbia. The eight other runners-up contest play-offs to determine the four remaining finalists.
