Euro 2025 will feature 16 nations and, as hosts, Switzerland qualified automatically for the competition.

Reigning champions England were among eight teams who booked their place during the group phase.

The remaining seven spots are being contested by 14 nations, whittled down from 28.

The first round of qualifying play-offs consisted of the League A nations that failed to qualify automatically, the League B countries who did not finish bottom of their group, the League C group winners, and the three best sides from League C that finished second in their group.

Azerbaijan, who finished bottom of their League B group, were also entered into the play-offs as the next best placed side because group winners Switzerland were already assured of their spot.

For the first round of play-offs, the eight sides from League A were drawn against the eight nations from League C. The 12 teams from League B were drawn alongside other League B nations.

The 14 losers in the first round of play-off qualifying were eliminated.

The 14 winners have advanced into the second play-off round.

For qualification for Euro 2025, all countries were split into three leagues based on their performance in the 2023-24 Nations League.

After being split into leagues, nations were then put in groups of either three or four.

All League A nations were guaranteed to reach at least the play-offs. The top two sides in each group directly advanced into the Euro 2025 group stages.

England finished second in their League A group behind France, with the duo joining Spain, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and Iceland in next year's tournament.

The eight League A sides and Switzerland are the only nations to have qualified so far.
