UEFA has announced that the joint-hosts of Euro 2028—England, Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland—will need to qualify for the tournament. This represents a shift from previous editions where hosts automatically qualified. For Euro 2028, out of 24 teams, 20 will qualify through group stages, while four spots are designated for host nations and playoffs. The tournament will feature nine venues across these four nations. The qualification draw is set to be finalized in autumn 2025, offering a unique opportunity and challenge for the hosts.
Uefa's protocol adjustment means hosts England, Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland must qualify for Euro 2028, unlike previous tournaments.
The qualification structure for Euro 2028 requires 20 nations to qualify through group stages, with host nations having limited automatic qualification opportunities.
