England earned the right to be a top seed for the Euro 2024 draw | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

England breezed through qualification for Euro 2024 despite being handed a tough group that included Ukraine and reigning champions Italy. An unbeaten qualifying campaign, including six victories, sees Gareth Southgate\u2019s side into next summer\u2019s tournament in Germany.<\/p>\n

The Three Lions will be among the strong favourites to win the competition, which runs for a month from June to July next year. Harry Kane and co. will soon be able to map out their path to a first major tournament victory since 1966.<\/p>\n

When is the Euro 2024 draw?<\/h2>\n

The draw for the Euro 2024 finals will take place on December 2. A ceremony will begin at 5pm UK time. UEFA will stream the draw live on its website.<\/p>\n

It will take place at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany. Hamburg is one of the host cities of the tournament and is hosting four group stage matches and a quarter-final.<\/p>\n

How does the draw work?<\/h2>\n

Teams will be allocated to one of four pots (1, 2, 3 or 4) in advance of the draw, based on their performances during qualifying. Germany are seeded in Pot 1 but are not drawn as they are automatically allocated to Group A due to them hosting the tournament. The three eventual play-off winners are assigned to Pot 4.<\/p>\n

A further six pots (A, B, C, D, E or F) are required to draw the respective team\u2019s position in each group. Pots B-F contain four balls each to represent the positions available in each group (eg 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.<\/p>\n

Which pot are England in?<\/h2>\n

England might have felt they should have beaten North Macedonia on Monday, but the point earned from the 1-1 draw means they will enter Pot 1. That could see Southgate\u2019s men handed an easier group than they might have received had they finished second in qualifying Group C.<\/p>\n

When are the Euro 2024 qualifying play-offs?<\/h2>\n

Some teams have qualified for Euro 2024 via their performance in the UEFA Nations League. Others must qualify via a play-off.<\/p>\n

The play-off format sees two rounds of matches. Teams will play a semi-final and the six winners will play in a final round of games. The three victorious nations will go to Euro 2024.<\/p>\n

There will be six semi-finals on March 21, 2024, and three finals on March 26, 2024.<\/p>\n
