==Format==
The twelve teams were selected based on their performance in the [[2022–23 UEFA Nations League]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/euro-2024/news/0257-0e13b161b2e8-4a3fd5615e0c-1000/ |title=Euro 2024: All you need to know |website=UEFA.com |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=1 May 2022 |access-date=1 May 2022}}</ref> These teams were divided into three paths, each containing four teams, with one team from each path qualifying for the final tournament.<ref name="regulations"/><ref name="how they work"/>
 
The format iswas similar to that of the [[UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs]]. However, given there iswas one fewer qualifying spot available (as no host qualified automatically for [[UEFA Euro 2020|Euro 2020]]), and the [[UEFA Nations League]] was restructured from the [[2018–19 UEFA Nations League|2018–19 season]], the play-offs now featurefeatured only three paths, with the now-downsized League D no longer given its own path.
 
===Team selection===
Line 13:
# All available group winners were selected.
# If a group winner had directly qualified through the [[UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying]] group stage, then they were replaced by the next best-ranked team from the same league that had not also directly qualified.
# If fewer than four teams from a given league had failed to qualifyqualified, then the remaining slots for that league were allocated as follows:
## The best-ranked League D group winner would be selected unless this team had directly qualified.
## Any remaining slots would be allocated based on the Nations League overall ranking:
Line 34:
 
===Match pairings and rules===
Each play-off path will featurefeatured two single-leg semi-finals, and one single-leg final, taking place in March 2024. In the semi-finals of each path, based on the Nations League rankings, the best-ranked team hosted the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team hosted the third-ranked team. The host of each final was decided by a draw between the two semi-final pairings.
 
The play-offs arewere played in single-leg knockout matches. If scores arewere level at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]] iswere played, followed by a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] if the scores remainremained tiedlevel.<ref name="regulations"/>
 
==Teams selected==
Line 258:
 
The following three non-group winners from League B (ordered by Nations League ranking) took part in the draw, with two being drawn into Path B, while the remaining team was allocated to Path A:
#*{{fb|FIN}} (21)
#*{{fb|UKR}} (22)
#*{{fb|ISL}} (23)
 
The two teams drawn into Path B occupied positions B3 and B4, following their Nations League ranking, while the team drawn into Path A occupied position A3.
