Malta was drawn in Group B5 with Switzerland, Northern Ireland and North Macedonia as the draw for round 2 of qualifying for the 2026/27 UEFA European Under-19 Championship was made on Monday

The leagues for the second of three qualifying rounds under the new format were set by round 1. Round 2 is played in the autumn.

In League A, the 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four teams. Czechia, as final tournament hosts, play in the first two rounds of qualifying although their place in the finals is assured as hosts.

The top three in each League A group remain in League A for round 3, drawn on 10 December and played in spring 2027, which will decide which seven teams join Czechia in the final tournament that summer.

In League B, the 26 teams were drawn into five groups of four teams and two groups of three teams. All group winners in League B are promoted to League A for round 3.

All mini-tournament hosts and dates will be confirmed in due course following the draw. Unless all the associations in a group agree to play on other dates, round 2 matches must be played on the following FIFA International Match Calendar dates:

• 21 September–6 October 
• 9–17 November
