2025/26 Under-17 EURO qualifying round 1 latest

Round 1 of the 2025/26 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, running until 18 November, begins the road to the eight-team finals in Estonia.

Estonia take part in both rounds of qualifying though their place in the final tournament is assured as hosts. On completion of round 1, the 14 group winners and 14 runners-up qualify for round 2 League A. The remaining 26 teams participate in round 2 League B. The round 2 draw is on 10 December.

Teams in round 2 League A will compete in spring 2026 for seven places alongside hosts Estonia in the final tournament scheduled for between 25 May and 7 June, as well as Europe's berths in the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar. Teams in both round 2 leagues will play for promotion and relegation between the leagues ahead of 2027/28 U19 EURO round 1.

Portugal go into qualifying as holders having won the title in 2024/25, beating France in the final. Belgium and Italy reached the semis with hosts Albania, Czechia, England and Germany also in the finals.
