2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifying was the preliminary phase of the2024–25 UEFA Conference League, prior to the competition proper. Qualification consisted of the qualifying phase (first to third rounds) and the play-off round. It began on 10 July and ended on 29 August 2024.^[1]

A total of 152 teams competed in the qualifying system, with 20 teams in the Champions Path and 132 teams in the Main Path. The 24 winners of the play-off round advanced to theleague phase, to join the 12 losers of theEuropa League play-off round.^[2]

The qualifying phase and play-off round was split into two paths – theChampions Path and theMain Path. The Champions Path contained teams which were eliminated from theChampions League Champions Path, and theEuropa League Champions Path and the Main Path contained teams which qualified through their domestic league or as domestic cup winners as well as teams eliminated from theEuropa League Main Path.

Each tie was played overtwo legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level at the end of normal time of the second leg,extra time was played, and if the same number of goals was scored by both teams during extra time, the tie was decided by apenalty shoot-out.^[3]

In the draws for each round in the Main Path, teams were seeded based on theirUEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots containing the same number of teams. A seeded team was drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided by draw. As the identity of the winners of the previous round may not have been known at the time of the draws, the seeding was carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advanced to the subsequent round, which meant if the team with the lower coefficient advanced, it simply took the seeding of its opponent.

In the draws for each round in the Champions Path, teams were seeded based on the round in which they entered the Conference League. As a result, there was no seeding in the second and third qualifying rounds.

Prior to the draws, UEFA could form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, purely for the convenience of the draw and not to resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition. Teams from associations with political conflicts as decided by UEFA could not be drawn into the same tie. After the draws, the order of legs of a tie could be reversed by UEFA due to scheduling or venue conflicts.

The schedule of the competition was as follows. Matches were scheduled for Thursdays, though exceptionally could take place on Tuesdays or Wednesdays due to scheduling conflicts.^[1]

The Champions Path included league champions which were eliminated from theChampions Path qualifying phase of theChampions League and theChampions Path qualifying phase of theEuropa League and consisted of the following rounds:

• Second qualifying round (12 teams): 12 of the 14 losers of theChampions League first qualifying round (two of the teams received a bye to the third qualifying round).
• Third qualifying round (8 teams): 6 winners of the second qualifying round, and the 2 losers of the Champions League first qualifying round that received a bye.
• Play-off round (10 teams): 4 winners of the third qualifying round, and 6 losers of theEuropa League Champions Path third qualifying round.
