UEFA European Under-17 Championship round 2 kicks off on 15 March, deciding Estonia's seven final tournament opponents as well as promotion and relegation between the two leagues ahead of 2027/28 Under-19 EURO qualifying.

There are seven groups in League A, running between 15 and 29 March. The group winners join hosts Estonia in the finals from 25 May to 7 June (drawn on 9 April). The group winners will also qualify to represent Europe in the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar along with the four best runners-up.
