In 2020, things are different.
Instead, 16 teams were selected, based on their performance in the 2018-19 UEFA Nations League, to participate in the Euro 2020 playoffs.
These 16 teams were separated into four different groups. There will be two semi-final games in each group, and the winners of those semi-final matches will square off in a Group final to determine who will go to the Euro 2020 tournament this summer.
The playoff semi-final and final matches will take place on March 26th, 2020 and March 31st, 2020 respectively.
The four groups look like this:
Bulgaria
Hungary
Iceland
Romania
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Northern Ireland
Slovakia
Republic of Ireland
Norway
Serbia
Scotland
Israel
Georgia
Belarus
North Macedonia
Kosovo
This means that the eight semi-final matches will look like this:
Bulgaria v Hungary
Iceland v Romania
Bosnia and Herzegovina v Northern Ireland
Slovakia v Ireland
Norway v Serbia
Scotland v Israel
Georgia v Belarus
North Macedonia v Kosovo
The winners of each set of matches will square off in a Group final to determine who moves to the Euro 2020 tournament. For instance, the winners of Bulgaria v Hungary and Iceland v Romania will square off against each other, etc.
