UEFA European Under-19 Championship

Season Description
The 2026 UEFA European Under-19 Championship will be the 23rd edition of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship and the 73rd edition if the Under-18 and Junior eras are also included. It is the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-19 national teams of Europe. Wales, which was selected by UEFA on 26 September 2023, will host the tournament from 28 June to 11 July 2026. A total of eight teams will play in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2007 eligible to participate.

As with previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament will act as the UEFA qualification tournament for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The four semi-finalists will qualify for the 2027 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, while the two third-placed teams in the group stage will meet in a play-off for another UEFA berth.
