The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying League A is the top division of the 2025 edition of qualifying for the UEFA Women's Championship, the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA. The results will also be used to determine the leagues for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League competition.

Format

League A consists of the 16 top-ranked UEFA members in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League ranking, split into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in April, May to June, and July 2024.

After the league phase, the top two teams of each group will qualify automatically for the final tournament and the bottom two teams of each group will advance to the play-offs.

For the first play-off round the eight League A teams will be seeded, and drawn against the eight best-ranked teams in League C. The winner of those ties will advance to the second round.[1][2]

The competition also acts as the first phase for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League, which will use an identical league structure. The fourth-placed team from each group will be relegated to League B.[1][2]

Seeding

Teams were allocated to League A according to their ranking after the conclusion of the promotion and relegation matches and Nations League Finals of the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League on 28 February 2024. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their UEFA Nations League ranking.[2]
