qualification

The division into the individual qualifying rounds is based on the UEFA access list. The order of the associations is determined by the association coefficients of the UEFA five-year ranking 2017/2018. Since last year's defending champions qualified for the Champions League have already qualified via national competitions, there will be subsequent postponements in the published access list.

The teams with the higher club coefficient of the UEFA five-year ranking 2018/19 are seeded. If the club coefficient is the same, the order is determined by the rating points achieved by the teams in the previous season or in the following years. If the previous round has not yet been completed at the time of the draw for the respective qualifying round, the higher value of the two teams in the respective outstanding pairings will be used for the seeding list.

Preliminary round

The preliminary round took place in a small elimination tournament. The host was Kosovo. The draw for the preliminary round took place on June 11, 2019, the semi-final round on June 25 and the final round on June 28, 2019 in the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina .
