Round 1 of qualifying for the 2026/27 UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship is in progress.

This is the first of two qualifying rounds, eventually leading to the 2027 final tournament in Finland. The leagues were set by round 2 of 2025/26 qualifying.

In League A, running from 7 October to 4 December, the 28 teams compete in seven groups of four teams, played as mini-tournaments. Finland are involved, although their final tournament place is assured as hosts. The seven fourth-placed teams will be relegated to League B for round 2 in the spring.

In League B, ending on 11 November, the 22 teams take part in four mini-tournament groups of four teams and two groups of three teams. The six group winners and the best runners-up will be promoted to League A for round 2.

In round 2, League A will decide the seven teams joining hosts Finland in the final tournament scheduled from 9 to 22 May 2027, which will also act as UEFA's qualifier for the 2027 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco.
