Round 1 of the 2023/24 UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship is in progress, beginning the road to May's final tournament in Sweden.

League A was made up of 28 teams, including defending champions France and the seven nations promoted from League B after round 2 of the 2022/23 edition. They competed in seven groups in single-venue mini-tournaments; teams finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for 2023/24 round 2, with the other positions deciding seeding for League A in that round. Sweden took part and will also be in League A for round 2, although their finals place is assured as hosts.

The 22 teams in League B include sides relegated from League A in 2022/23 round 2, plus Andorra and Malta who are returning to the competition. They are playing for promotion to League A in six groups. The six group winners and the runners-up with the best record against the teams first and third in their section will be promoted.

League A round 2 will decide the seven teams joining Sweden in the 2024 finals from 5 to 18 May, which will also act as UEFA's qualifier for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic.
