Format

League B consists of 16 UEFA members ranked 17th to 32nd among competition entrants in the UEFA women's national team coefficient ranking. Teams were split into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in September, October and November to December 2023.[1] The competition also acts as the first phase of the preliminary competition for UEFA Women's Euro 2025, which will use an identical league structure. The group winners will be promoted to League A, while the fourth-placed team from each group, as well as the lowest-ranked third-placed team, will be relegated to League C, taking effect in UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying. In addition, the group runners-up of League B will advance to the promotion play-offs against the third-placed teams of League A. The winners of these home-and-away ties will enter League A for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying, while the losers will enter League B. Meanwhile, the three best-ranked third-placed teams in League B will advance to the relegation play-offs against the three best-ranked League C runners-up. The winners of these home-and-away ties will enter League B for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying, while the losers will enter League C.[2]

Seeding

Teams were allocated to League B according to their UEFA women's national team coefficient after the conclusion of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying group stage on 6 September 2022. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their UEFA national team coefficient.[3]

The draw for the league phase took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on May 2023, 13:00 CEST.[4] Each group contains one team from each pot. The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with drawn teams assigned to the first available group in ascending order from B1 to B4. Due to the Belarusian involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Belarus and Ukraine cannot be drawn in the same group.[5]
