The play-offs are played in single-leg knockout matches.
Once the four teams constituting one play-off path have been determined as per Article 16, they are ranked first to fourth based on the overall 2022/23 UEFA Nations League rankings.
The semi-finals of each play-off path are played as follows:
-
The team ranked first plays at home against the team ranked fourth.
-
The team ranked second plays at home against the team ranked third.
For each play-off final, a draw is conducted in advance to determine which semi-final winner will play at home.
The winners of the three play-off finals qualify for the final tournament.
