Round 1 of qualifying for the 2026/27 UEFA European Under-17 Championship runs between 23 September and 17 November, beginning the road to the eight-team finals in Latvia.

The 54 entrants compete in 14 one-venue mini-tournaments. The 14 group winners and 14 runners-up qualify for round 2 League A. The remaining 26 teams participate in round 2 League B.

Round 2 in spring 2027 will decide the seven teams that join Latvia in the EURO final tournament and will also act as UEFA's qualifier for the 2027 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar. Latvia will take part in qualifying although their place in the EURO finals is assured as hosts.
