League A consists of 28 teams, including the seven promoted from League B after round 2 of the 2023/24 edition this spring. The teams have been drawn into seven groups; from these single-venue mini-tournaments, the teams finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for 2024/25 round 2, with the other positions deciding seeding for League A in that round. Poland will take part even though their finals place is assured as hosts.

The 23 teams in League B include the sides relegated from League A in round 2 of the 2023/24 edition and Malta, returning after a one-season absence. They will compete for promotion to League A in six groups. The group winners and the best runners-up will be promoted.

League A round 2, drawn on 6 December and played between either 17 and 26 February or 31 March and 8 April, will decide the seven teams joining Poland in the finals from 15 to 27 June 2025.

Draw procedure

In round 1, the 51 entrants were split into League A (28 teams) and League B (23 teams) based on the rankings after 2023/24 round 2.

In League A, teams were drawn into seven groups of four, while League B has been divided into five groups of four teams and one of three.

Within each league, teams were allocated to four pots (League A – seven in each, Pots 1 to 4; League B – six in Pots 1 to 3, five in Pot 4). In League A, every group contains one team from each pot. In League B, five groups contain one team from each pot, while one only contains teams from Pots 1 to 3.

In League A, the draw started with Pot 1, continued with Pot 2, then Pot 3, and concluded with Pot 4. Each pot was emptied entirely before proceeding to the next pot.

As a rule, and for each pot, the teams drawn were allocated in numerical order from Group A1 to Group A7. If a draw condition applied or was anticipated to apply, the team drawn was allocated to the first available group in numerical order.

In League B, the draw started with Pot 1, continued with Pot 2, then Pot 3, and concluded with Pot 4. Each pot was emptied entirely before proceeding to the next pot.

As a rule, and for each pot, the teams drawn were allocated in numerical order from Group B1 to Group B6 (though Group B6 only has three teams, with none from Pot 4). If a draw condition applied or was anticipated to apply, the team drawn was allocated to the first available group in numerical order.

As decided by the UEFA Executive Committee and the UEFA Emergency Panel, the following pairs of teams could not be drawn into the same group: Serbia and Kosovo (League A), Armenia and Azerbaijan (League B).
