  • Main round: The 40 teams (34 teams with the highest coefficient ranking, and six teams from the preliminary round) are drawn into ten groups. Each group is played in a home-and-away round-robin format. The ten group winners qualify for the final tournament, while the eight best runners-up advance to the play-offs.
  • Play-offs: The eight teams are drawn into four ties, each tie will be played by home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last four qualifiers.

Tiebreakers

edit

In the preliminary round and main round, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01, 14.02 and 17.01):[5]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. (Main round only) Away goals scored in all group matches;
  8. (Main round only) Wins in all group matches;
  9. (Main round only) Away wins in all group matches;
  10. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  11. UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round or qualifying group stage draw;
  12. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);

To determine the eight best runners-up from the main round. The following criteria are applied (Regulations Article 16.01):[5]

  1. Points;
  2. Goal difference;
  3. Goals scored;
  4. Disciplinary points;
  5. UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round or qualifying group stage draw;

In the play-offs, the team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualifies for the final tournament. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e., the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out (Regulations Article 22.01).[5]
