The 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying competition was a men's under-19 football competition that determined the seven teams joining the automatically qualified hosts Malta in the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship final tournament.[1] Players born on or after 1 January 2004 were eligible to participate.
Russia were originally scheduled to participate in the competition before being excluded due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, while Liechtenstein opted not to participate. This meant that the tournament featured 52 of the remaining 54 UEFA member association national teams. Qualification consisted of a qualifying round in autumn 2022 followed by an elite round in spring 2023.[2]
