   The hosts will be appointed at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Dublin, Republic of Ireland on 2–3 December 2018. All 55 UEFA nations are eligible to enter the competition, and with the hosts (or co-hosts) qualifying automatically, a maximum of 54 (or 53 if co-hosts) teams will compete in the qualifying competition to determine the remaining 11 (or 10 if co-hosts) spots in the final tournament. The qualifying competition consists of two rounds:
Qualifying group stage: The teams are drawn into nine groups of five or six teams. Each group is played in home-and-away round-robin format. The nine group winners qualify directly for the final tournament, while the four (or two if co-hosts) best runners-up (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) advance to the play-offs.

Play-offs: The four (or two if co-hosts) teams are drawn into two (or one if co-hosts) ties to play home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last two (or one if co-hosts) qualified teams.

The UEFA administration seeds the teams for the qualifying group stage draw and
for the final draw in accordance with the UEFA Under-21 national team coefficient
rankings. The draw for the qualifying group stage will be held on 11 December 2018 in Nyon, Switzerland. All qualifying matches are played on the following dates, as listed in the 2018–24
