The qualifying format was not announced, though the 54 teams involved will likely be drawn into 10 qualifying groups, each with five or six teams playing from March to November in 2023.

The Euro 2024 lineup will likely be completed in March 2024 by three playoff brackets involving teams based on their standings in the Nations League groups played next year.
The Nations League groups are played next June and September, ahead of the October 9 draw for the Euro 2024 qualifying groups.
UEFA is scheduled to draw those Nations League groups on December 16 in Montreux, Switzerland.
