As of now, 21 participants in the final stage are known.

Three more national teams (to be included in Basket 4) will be determined in the spring, after the head-to-head matches involving the winners of the Nations League groups. The playoffs will be held in three branches, Leagues A, B and C, according to a one-match cup system, taking into account the rating of participants according to the scheme 1-4 and 2-3 (in the semifinals, the first and second seeding numbers will be the hosts).

If the winner of the LN group has already qualified for Euro 2024 through the qualification of this tournament, its place in the playoffs is taken by the next highest ranked team in this division. If there are fewer than four teams left that can play in the head-to-head matches, the license is transferred to the league below, taking into account the overall ranking in the League of Nations (the best team in League D is given priority). Thus, each of the three playoffs will have its own winner, who will participate in Euro 2024.

The formation of the groups of the final Euro tournament will take place on December 2 (19:00), and the championship itself will last from June 14 to July 14, 2024.
