★ THE FORMAT

24 TEAMS.
6 GROUPS.
ONE TROPHY.

Euro 2028 keeps the 24-team format that's defined the Euros since 2016 — six groups, a knockout bracket with room for upsets, and a month of football across the four nations of the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

  • 6 groups of 4. Top two from each group advance, plus the four best third-placed teams — 16 teams reach the knockouts.
  • 51 matches in 31 days. From group-stage chaos to a Round of 16 that's always one penalty shootout away from a national crisis.
  • Five host nations, one tournament. England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland share hosting — UEFA has reserved up to two qualifying lifelines for hosts that miss out on the regular path.
  • The final at Wembley. Where football coming home is no longer a meme — it's the literal venue.

★ THE ROAD TO 2028

24 SPOTS.
STILL UP FOR GRABS.

UEFA qualifying hasn't started yet — but the path is set. 53 nations chasing 24 spots, with the five hosts in the mix and a safety-net for any host that falls short. Start your group now and lock in your dark horse before the draw.

★ Group-stage draw is scheduled for early December 2027. Final bracket confirmed after the playoff path in March 2028.

Host nations

5 NATIONS

Unlike Euro 2024 in Germany, no host gets an automatic free pass to the finals. All five hosts play qualifying — but UEFA has reserved up to two host slots, so at most two hosts that miss out the regular way will be rescued.

  • England Host
  • Scotland Host
  • Wales Host
  • Northern Ireland Host
  • Republic of Ireland Host

The path

53 NATIONS
  • Mar 2027
    Qualifying draw. UEFA splits 53 nations into a dozen groups. Top two from each group qualify directly.
  • Mar–Nov 2027
    Qualifying matchdays. Ten rounds across spring, autumn and the final international windows.
  • Mar 2028
    Nations League playoffs. Three final spots decided by the playoff path, drawn from Nations League rankings.
  • Jun 9, 2028
    Tournament kickoff. The opener at Wembley. 24 teams left, one trophy on the table.
