Wales is hosting the 2026 UEFA European Under-19 Championship finals in the north of the country from 28 June to 11 July. The competition also acts as UEFA's qualifier for the 2027 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.

The draw was at Wrexham University on Thursday 16 April, made by tournament ambassador Danny Gabbidon. The hosts were joined by seven teams who progressed from the elite round in the group stage.

The eight teams competed in two groups of four with the top two in each section advancing to the semi-finals: Spain and Germany from Group A and Ukraine and Croatia from Group B. Spain and Germany progressed from the semi-finals on Wednesday 8 July and will compete for the 2026 title in Saturday's final.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) previously staged the Women's U19 EURO final tournament in 2013 while the nation's capital Cardiff was the venue for the 2017 men's and women's UEFA Champions League finals and the 2014 UEFA Super Cup.
