UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group G

Group G of UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying was one of the ten groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2024 final tournament in Germany. Group G consisted of five teams: Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, Montenegro and Serbia. The teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[1]

The top two teams, Hungary and Serbia, qualified directly for the final tournament. The participants of the qualifying play-offs were decided based on their performance in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League.
