When does the draw take place?

The draw will be held at the Markthalle in Frankfurt, Germany on Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. BST / 6 a.m. ET.

The technical part of the draw is expected to take 40 minutes to complete.

How are the draw pots decided?

The teams are divided into seven pots based upon the final positions in the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League (UNL) group stage.

The four top-ranked countries are the UNL Pot, with the next six in Pot 1. The UNL Pot exists because these countries must be drawn into a group of five countries to have the June international dates free for the UEFA Nations League finals; they will be drawn into Groups A-D.

The other pots all have 10 teams, other than Pot 6 which contains the three lowest-ranked countries.
