The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group B was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.[1] Group B consisted of six teams: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Israel, Wales, Cyprus, and Andorra,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[3]

The top two teams would qualify directly for the finals. The third-placed team would qualify directly too if they had the best records among the third-placed teams of all qualifying groups, otherwise they would enter the play-offs for another chance to qualify.

Belgium and Wales qualified for the finals as the group winners and runners-up respectively. As third-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they lost to the Republic of Ireland and thus failed to qualify.
