How does Euro 2024 draw work?

Teams have been allocated to one of four pots, in accordance with their results in the qualifying group stage.

Hosts Germany are seeded in Pot 1 but are not drawn as they are automatically allocated to Group A. The three teams who make it through the play-offs are assigned to Pot 4.

A further six pots (A, B, C, D, E, F) are required to draw the respective team's position in each group. Pots B-F contain four balls each to represent the positions available in each group - B1, B2, B3 and B4. Pot A contains only three balls for the positions A2, A3 and A4 in Group A, since Germany will occupy position A1.
