Times listed here byCEST/CET.[note 1]
The youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations according to their 2022UEFA country coefficients entered the Domestic Champions Path.[2] If there was a vacancy (associations with no youth domestic competition, as well as youth domestic champions already included in theUEFA Champions League path), it was first filled by the title holders if they have not yet qualified, and then by the youth domestic champions of the next association in the UEFA ranking.
For the Domestic Champions Path, the 32 teams were drawn into two rounds oftwo-legged home-and-away ties. The draw for both the first round and second round was held on 31 August 2022, at the UEFA headquarters inNyon, Switzerland.[3] There were no seedings, but the 32 teams were split into groups defined by sporting and geographical criteria prior to the draw.

In the Domestic Champions Path, each tie is played overtwo legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, as theaway goals rule has been scrapped early this season, the match will be decided by apenalty shoot-out with noextra time played.[1]
The eight second round winners advance to theplay-offs, where they are joined by the eight group runners-up from theUEFA Champions League Path.
The first legs were played on 12–28 September and the second legs were played on 4–12 October 2022.[4]
