Teams
In total, 99 teams entered qualifying stage, which consisted of the following rounds: First qualifying round (70 teams): 70 teams which entered in this round. Second qualifying round (64 teams): 29 teams which entered in this round, and 35 winners of the first qualifying round.
The 32 winners of the second qualifying round qualified for the first round.
In the qualifying rounds, UEFA divided the participating teams into three geographical regions: Northern, Central–East, and Southern–Mediterranean. Teams were then seeded within their respective regions, rather than being seeded among all participating teams of the round. This meant that a club potentially seeded in an open draw format could be unseeded in the regional system, or vice versa. The regional allocation of countries was generally as follows: Northern: Belgium, Denmark, England, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Wales Central–East: Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Ukraine Southern–Mediterranean: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Italy, Macedonia, Malta, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey
However, UEFA could make exceptions to these allocations to ensure an even number of teams in each region.
Below are the 99 teams involved in the qualifying rounds, grouped by their starting rounds.
