2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA second round#Path B

The qualification format was confirmed by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Nyon, Switzerland on 4 December 2019.{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/newsid=2634046.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200605101823/https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/newsid=2634046.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 June 2020 |title=UEFA Executive Committee agenda for Nyon meeting |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=27 November 2019 |access-date=28 November 2019}} The play-offs depended, in part, on results from the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League, although to a lesser degree than play-offs of the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying tournament.

Unlike previous editions, the play-offs were not contested in two-legged ties. Instead, the twelve teams were split into three play-off paths, each containing four teams. Each play-off path was planned to feature two single-leg semi-finals on 24 March, and one single-leg final on 29 March 2022. The winners of the final in each play-off path qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The semi-finals were hosted by the six best-ranked runners-up of the qualifying group stage, while the host of the final was determined by a draw.{{cite web |url=https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/205b8634751aa743/original/teq6xtba5j54gogrcemo-pdf.pdf |title=Regulatory articles for the 2020–2022 European qualifiers play-offs |work=FIFA |date=22 October 2020 |access-date=22 October 2020}}

The play-offs were played in single-leg knockout matches. If scores were level at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of extra time would be played, where each team was allowed to make a sixth substitution. If the scores remained tied, a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.{{cite web |url=https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/517ef2ad2bc3665e/original/ytkbpnxyvcghx6bebesv-pdf.pdf |title=Regulations FIFA World Cup 2022 Preliminary Competition: Including COVID-19 Regulations |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |access-date=29 November 2021}} Following approval from the UEFA Executive Committee in December 2019, the use of the video assistant referee system was approved for the entire World Cup qualification tournament.

Twelve teams advanced to the play-offs. Unlike previous editions, all participants were not decided solely on the results of the first round. Two of the twelve spots were allocated to group winners of the 2020–21 edition of the UEFA Nations League.

The ten runners-up from the UEFA first round advanced to the play-offs. Based on the results from the qualifying group stage, the six best-ranked teams were seeded, while the bottom four were unseeded in the semi-final draw.

Based on the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League overall ranking,{{cite web |url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0264-10fc7133decc-0734cf828401-1000/unl_rankings_after_md6_with_criteria_1_december_2020_.pdf |title=Overall ranking of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League |work=UEFA |date=1 December 2020 |access-date=1 December 2020}} the best two Nations League group winners that finished outside the top two of their qualifying group advanced to the play-offs and were unseeded in the semi-final draw.

Paths A and B were affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine which began on 24 February 2022, a month before the semi-finals.

A player was automatically suspended for the next match for the following offences:

• Receiving a red card (red card suspensions could be extended for serious offences)
• Receiving two yellow cards in two different qualifying group stage matches (yellow card suspensions were carried forward to the play-off semi-finals, but not the play-off finals, World Cup final tournament or any other future international matches)

On 17 January 2022, following a UEFA request, FIFA announced the expiration of yellow cards received during the qualifying group stage, thus preventing suspensions in the play-off finals due to yellow cards received in the semi-finals. However, yellow card suspensions accumulated at the end of the qualifying group stage were still carried forward to the play-offs.{{cite news |location=Zürich |url=https://apnews.com/article/soccer-sports-europe-international-soccer-world-cup-bbe0963cfe20787fa0c1c08d49b24e91 |title=Yellow card amnesty agreed for World Cup playoffs in Europe |work=Associated Press |date=17 January 2022 |access-date=18 January 2022}}
