The draw for the play-offs will take place on Friday, 22 November with the 16 teams in the draw split into four paths - A, B, C and D.
Each path contains four teams, with their rankings determined by their performance in the Uefa Nations League.
Each path will be divided into two single-leg semi-finals. There the best-ranked team will host the worst-ranked team and the team ranked second will host the team ranked third. The winner of each semi-final will contest a final.
At the draw it will also be determined which semi-final winner plays the final at home. The winners of each of the four play-off finals will join the 20 teams who have qualified automatically.
