Before the stadium announcements were made, Dunedin City council suggested in January 2013,{{cite web|url=http://www.odt.co.nz/print/243025|title=Dunedin drops world cup bid|publisher=Otago Daily Times|date=2013-01-19|access-date=2013-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227194552/http://www.odt.co.nz/print/243025|archive-date=27 December 2014|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}} that it would not bid to host matches at Forsyth Barr Stadium (also known as Otago Stadium) unless the costs (an estimated $1m) could be lowered.{{cite web|url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/regional/126291/dunedin-%27wrong%27-to-drop-world-cup-bid|title=Dunedin 'wrong' to drop World Cup bid|publisher=Radio New Zealand|date=2013-01-23|access-date=2013-01-24}} The stadium hosted seven matches there, the last of which being a Round of 16 game.{{cite web|url=http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/your-council/latest-news/august-2013/dunedin-confirmed-as-a-host-city-for-fifas-second-biggest-tournament|title=Dunedin Confirmed as a Host City for FIFA's Second Biggest Tournament|publisher=Dunedin City Council website|date=2013-08-15|access-date=15 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150210172837/http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/your-council/latest-news/august-2013/dunedin-confirmed-as-a-host-city-for-fifas-second-biggest-tournament|archive-date=10 February 2015|url-status=dead}}

• Pot 1: Hosts and continental champions of five confederations (except OFC)
• Pot 2: Remaining teams from AFC and CAF
• Pot 3: Remaining teams from CONCACAF and CONMEBOL
• Pot 4: Remaining teams from OFC and UEFA

As a basic principle, teams from the same confederation could not be drawn against each other at the group stage. As the CAF U-20 Championship was not completed at the time of the draw, a separate draw took place on 23 March 2015 in Dakar, Senegal, at the tournament's conclusion to determine the groups where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed CAF teams would play in, to ensure there was no manipulation of games in the qualifying tournament ensuring fairness to all qualified teams.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/news/y=2015/m=3/news=african-teams-set-to-light-up-the-fifa-u-20-world-cup-2577785.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150326035213/http://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/news/y=2015/m=3/news=african-teams-set-to-light-up-the-fifa-u-20-world-cup-2577785.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 March 2015|title=African teams set to light up the FIFA U-20 World Cup|publisher=FIFA.com|date=23 March 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=r6AU8B2qKDFyEyutBOc1Yw%3d%3d|title=FIFA U-20 World Cup: African reps learn their fate|publisher=CAF|date=23 March 2015}}

If a player listed in the final squad suffered a serious injury up until 24 hours before the kick-off of his team's first match, he could be replaced by a player from the provisional list with the approval of FIFA's medical and organising committees.

In July 2015, it was reported that the New Zealand squad had included an ineligible player, South African Deklan Wynne not having completed the requisite period of residence in New Zealand.{{cite news|title=New Zealand Herald|publisher=APN|date=14 July 2015}}

The winners and runners-up of each group and the best four third-placed teams advanced to the round of 16. The rankings of teams in each group were determined as follows:

{{ordered list|start=1

| points obtained in all group matches;

| goal difference in all group matches;

| number of goals scored in all group matches;

}}

If two or more teams were equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings were determined as follows:

{{ordered list|start=4

| points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;

| goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;

| number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;

| drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of regular time (two periods of 45 minutes), extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner. In the case of the third place match, as it was played just before the final, extra time was skipped and a penalty shoot-out took place if necessary.
