Round 1DrawThe draw for the Round 1 was held on 7 June 2024, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[2] The 51 entering teams were split into two Leagues (28 in League A, 23 in League B) according to their final ranking in the 2023–24 qualification (Regulations Article 13.01).[3] To determine this ranking, the following criteria was followed:
Within each League, the teams were allocated to four drawing pots (seven teams per pot in League A, six teams in Pots 1 to 3 and five teams in Pot 4 in League B). Teams in the same pot would be drawn into different groups, with League A consisting of seven groups of four teams, and League B consisting of five groups of four and one group of three teams. As decided by the UEFA Executive Committee and the UEFA Emergency Panel, the following pairs of teams could not be drawn into the same group: Serbia and Kosovo (League A), Armenia and Azerbaijan (League B).[4]

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) goals scored; 4) disciplinary points; 5) coefficient ranking. Round 2DrawThe draw for Round 2 was made on 6 December 2024 at 10:30 CET at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[5] The teams were seeded according to their results in Round 1 (Regulations Article 15.01).[6] Because Round 1 League B had one group with only 3 teams, results against fourth-placed teams were disregarded for the ranking of teams that finished third or better in their group in Round 1 League B.
The 21 teams of Round 1 League A (top 3 teams in each group) and the 7 teams of Round 1 League B (six group winners and the best runner-up) were drawn into seven groups of four teams. The Round 1 League A group winners were automatically seeded into Pot 1, the second- and third-placed into Pots 2 and 3, respectively. The Round 1 League B teams were automatically seeded into Pot 4.
