Format
All UEFA member associations are eligible to compete in the qualifying competition, with the hosts (France) qualifying directly to the finals tournament.[6] The other 53 teams are drawn into eight groups of six teams (Groups A–H) and one group of five teams (Group I).[7] The group winners, runners-up, and the best third-placed team (with the results against the sixth-placed team discarded) directly qualify to the finals. The eight remaining third-placed teams contest two-legged play-offs to determine the last four qualifiers for the finals.[5][8][9]
Seeding system
For the qualifying group stage, the teams were seeded into six pots (Pots 1–5 with 9 teams and Pot 6 with 8 teams) for the qualifying group stage draw according to the UEFA national team coefficient rankings, with the title holders (Spain) automatically seeded into Pot 1. Each nation's coefficient is generated by calculating:
- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage.
- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying stage and final tournament.
- 20% of the average ranking points per game earned in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and final tournament.
UEFA stated that nations with the largest markets in terms of contribution to the European Qualifiers revenue would be drawn into one of the groups containing six teams.[9] They include England, Spain, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.[7] UEFA has also stated in their regulations that "the teams drawn into the group of five teams will have France added to their group for the purpose of playing centralised friendlies".[9]
For the play-offs the four ties are determined by draw, including the order of the two legs of each tie. The teams are seeded for the play-off draw according to the UEFA national team coefficient rankings updated after the completion of the group stage. Each nation's coefficient is generated by calculating:
- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying group stage.
- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and final tournament.
- 20% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying stage and final tournament.
Tiebreakers
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria are applied:[9]
- Higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference in matches played among the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored in the matches played among the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored away from home in the matches played among the teams in question;
- If, after having applied criteria 1 to 4, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 10 apply;
- Superior goal difference in all group matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
- Higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
- Fair play conduct in all group matches (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card, 4 points for a yellow card followed by a direct red card);
- Position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system;
To determine the best third-placed team, the results against the teams in sixth place are discarded. The following criteria are applied:
- Higher number of points obtained;
- Superior goal difference;
- Higher number of goals scored;
- Higher number of away goals scored;
- Fair play conduct in all group matches;
- Position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system;
For each play-off tie, the team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualifies for the final tournament. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e., the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time is played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.
Schedule
This is the first qualifying tournament after UEFA announced centralised rights deals for both UEFA Euro and FIFA World Cup qualifying. UEFA has proposed the "Week of Football" concept for the scheduling of qualifying matches:[10]
- Matches take place from Thursday to Tuesday.
- Kick-off times are largely set at 18:00 and 20:45 CET on Saturdays and Sundays, and 20:45 CET on Thursdays, Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays.
- On double-header matchweeks, teams play on Thursday and Sunday, or Friday and Monday, or Saturday and Tuesday.
- Matches in the same group are played on the same day.[9]
There are ten matchdays for the qualifying group stage, and two matchdays for the play-offs:[5]
Stage | Matchday | Dates |
---|---|---|
Qualifying group stage | Matchday 1 | 7–9 September 2014 |
Matchday 2 | 9–11 October 2014 | |
Matchday 3 | 12–14 October 2014 | |
Matchday 4 | 14–16 November 2014 | |
Matchday 5 | 27–29 March 2015 | |
Matchday 6 | 12–14 June 2015 | |
Matchday 7 | 3–5 September 2015 | |
Matchday 8 | 6–8 September 2015 | |
Matchday 9 | 8–10 October 2015 | |
Matchday 10 | 11–13 October 2015 | |
Play-offs | 1st leg | 12–14 November 2015 |
2nd leg | 15–17 November 2015 |
Unlike previous qualifying campaigns where group fixtures were determined by negotiation between the national federations, UEFA themselves decided each group's fixture list, released the same day as the draw.[7][9]

The draw took place at the Palais des Congrès Acropolis, Nice, on 23 February 2014, 12:00 CET.[3] The following draw procedure was applied:[13]
- Groups A–H each contain one team from each of Pots 1–6, while Group I contains one team from each of Pots 1–5.
- For television rights reasons, England, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands were drawn into groups of 6 teams.
- For political reasons, Azerbaijan and Armenia (due to the disputed status of Nagorno-Karabakh), as well as Spain and Gibraltar (due to the disputed status of Gibraltar) could not be drawn in the same group. Unlike the previous UEFA qualifying tournament, Russia and Georgia had agreed to play each other if they were drawn together.[14]
- France (Coeff: 30,992; Rank: 11) are partnered with the five-team Group I, which enables the 2016 tournament hosts to play friendlies against these countries on their 'spare' dates. These friendlies do not count in the qualifying group standings.

Ranking of third-placed teams
The highest ranked third-placed team from the groups directly qualifies for the tournament, while the remainder enter the play-offs. As Group I contains five teams and the rest contain six, matches against any sixth-placed team in each group are not included in this ranking. As a result, a total of eight matches played by each team count toward the purpose of the third-placed ranking table.
Play-offs
The eight remaining third-placed teams will contest two-legged play-offs to determine the last four qualifiers for the finals.[15] The teams are seeded for the play-off draw according to the UEFA national team coefficient rankings updated after the completion of the group stage. The draw for the play-offs will be held on 18 October 2015, 11:15 CEST, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon.[16]
The play-offs of the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying tournament decided the final four teams which qualified for the UEFA Euro 2016 final tournament. Eight teams, each of which finished third in their qualifying group were paired and contested in four ties, with the winner of each pair qualifying for the final tournament. Each of the four ties were played over two home-and-away legs with the four winners found according to the standard rules for the knockout phase in European competitions.[17] The matches took place between 12 and 17 November 2015.[18]
Ranking of third-placed teams
The highest ranked third placed team from the groups qualified automatically for the tournament, while the remainder entered the playoffs. As most groups contained six teams but one contained five, matches against the sixth-placed team in each group were not included in this ranking. As a result, a total of eight matches played by each team were counted in the third-placed ranking table.[9]
