Mini-tournament dates/hosts tbc
In League A, the 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four teams. Czechia, as final tournament hosts, play in the first two rounds of qualifying although their place in the finals is assured as hosts.
The top three in each League A group remain in League A for round 3, drawn on 10 December and played in spring 2027, which will decide which seven teams join Czechia in the final tournament that summer. If there is a vacancy because the team of the final tournament host association (Czechia) are among the qualified teams or for any other reason, the position is filled by the best fourth-placed team in League A.
In League B, the 26 teams were drawn into five groups of four teams and two groups of three teams. All group winners in League B are promoted to League A for round 3.
All mini-tournament hosts and dates will be confirmed in due course following the draw. Unless all the associations in a group agree to play on other dates, round 2 matches must be played on the following FIFA International Match Calendar dates:
• 21 September–6 October
• 9–17 November
In any case, round 2 must be completed by 17 November.
