It had been decided in 2018 that, starting in 2021, a new system would be introduced for grouping teams in the ETC. This would aim to have 8 teams in the Super League (plus the host country if it had not already qualified), 12 teams in the First and Second Leagues, and all the remaining teams in the Third League. The city of Minsk, Belarus, initially designated as the Super League venue, was replaced by Chorzów on November 2020 due to the political situation in Belarus.[3]
Super League

The 2021 Super League will consist of only 8 teams, instead of the previously 12 in all previous editions.
As Ukraine withdrew on 24 May because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EAA ruled that they will be relegated in 2023.[4]
The event will be attended by 7,600 spectators. The entry is free.
Participating countries
2 relegations in 2023: Portugal and Ukraine.
Final entries

Before the last event on Sunday, the Men’s 4x400 m relay, three teams could still win the Championship: Poland with 176.5 points, Great Britain with 174 points and Italy with 172 points.
The Italian team took an easy lead of the race after the first two legs, with Alessandro Sibilio passing the baton to Edoardo Scotti at third leg, with Great Britain just beside him. But the third leg British runner was then unable to give his baton to his teammate Rabah Yousif, and the Polish team finished strongly in the last leg to go from 5th to 3rd. As a result, Poland obtained enough points to win over Italy, which set the EL time, winning the last race, as during 2019 European Team Championships with the same EL result.[6][7]

NOTES:

- As the city of Minsk, Belarus, had initially been chosen to host the 2021 Super League by European Athletics, their team should have been automatically promoted to that division following this competition.[11]
