A total of 26 teams, all winners of the third qualifying round Main Path, were involved in the play-off round Main Path draw. They were divided into three groups: two groups of eight teams, where four teams were seeded and four teams were unseeded; and one group of ten teams, where five teams were seeded and five teams were unseeded. Numbers were pre-assigned for each team by UEFA, with the draw held in two runs, one for Groups 1–2 with eight teams and one for Group 3 with ten teams.
