UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship round 2 runs until 30 March, with Sweden, Spain, England and Poland the first four of seven teams that will book their place alongside hosts Estonia in the finals from 14 to 26 May. Promotion and relegation between the leagues is also at stake.

The make-up of the two leagues were decided by round 1 in the autumn. Estonia took part in round 2, though they were in any case assured of a finals place as hosts.

League A consists of 28 teams, including the seven promoted from League B. The seven eventual group winners will qualify for the finals. The teams finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for 2023/24 round 1.

The 20 teams in League B, including those relegated from League A in the autumn, compete for promotion.
