Qualification

{{main|UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying}}File:UEFA Euro 2022 Qualification (Corrected).pngA total of 48 UEFA nations entered the competition (including Cyprus which entered for the first time at senior women's level, and Kosovo which entered their first Women's Euro), and with the hosts England qualifying automatically, the other 47 teams competed in the qualifying competition to determine the remaining 15 spots in the final tournament.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0257-0e1788d3db97-509ee51ece94-1000--women-s-euro-qualifying-group-stage-report/|title=Seedings for the Women's EURO 2022 qualifying draw|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=20 December 2018|access-date=21 December 2018|archive-date=29 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191129133719/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=2586290.html|url-status=live}} In a change from previous qualifying competitions, the preliminary round had been abolished and all entrants started from the qualifying group stage. The qualifying competition consists of two rounds:{{cite web|title=Regulations of the UEFA European Women's Championship, 2019–21|url=https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-European-Women-s-Championship-2019-21-Online|website=UEFA|format=PDF|access-date=13 July 2022|archive-date=13 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220713125717/https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-European-Women-s-Championship-2019-21-Online|url-status=live}}

Qualifying group stage: The 47 teams were drawn into nine groups: two groups of six teams and seven groups of five teams. Each group was played in home-and-away round-robin format. The nine group winners and the three best runners-up (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) qualified directly for the final tournament, while the remaining six runners-up advanced to the play-offs.
Play-offs: The six teams were drawn into three ties to play home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last three qualified teams.

The draw for the qualifying group stage was held on 21 February 2019 in Nyon. The qualifying group stage took place from August 2019 to December 2020, while the play-offs took place in April 2021, previously scheduled for October 2020.

The announcement of hosting plans in 2019 drew criticism from The Guardian, which noted that the bid had emphasised the use of Wembley Stadium, while the plan was only to use it for the final.{{Sup|:808}} It and others also criticised that though the tournament would use stadiums in different parts of the country, none were in the North East.{{Sup|:808}}{{Cite news |last=Storey |first=Daniel |date=15 April 2022 |title=Euro 2022 grounds are so small that thousands of potential new fans will miss out |work=I news |url=https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/euro-2022-stadiums-small-venues-fans-miss-out-1576900 |access-date=26 April 2022 |archive-date=15 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220415070021/https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/euro-2022-stadiums-small-venues-fans-miss-out-1576900 |url-status=live }} This geographical concern was also a main subject of negative reactions on social media. A 2019 study noted that women's football had developed greatly following the 2005 Euro in the North West region in which it had been held, with a 2020 study noting that the North East was a prominent location for women's football.{{Sup|:811–812}} A lack of stadiums chosen in the Midlands also saw criticism closer to the tournament.

Stadium size was also criticised, with major complaints coming from Iceland's Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir; the 7,000 capacity Academy Stadium being the main focus, which would be limited to 4,700 capacity for the tournament due to UEFA restrictions preventing the use of standing capacity. The decision to include the stadium was labelled "embarrassing" and "disrespectful", and did not reflect the growth of women's football.{{Cite news|last=PA Media |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/19/embarrassing-euro-2022-criticised-for-hosting-games-at-city-academy-stadium|title='Embarrassing': Euro 2022 criticised for games at Manchester City's academy|work=The Guardian|access-date=26 April 2022}} The Leigh Sports Village would also be restricted to 8,100 instead of its typical 12,000 capacity due to the same restrictions.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61149365|title=Uefa criticised over Euros 'training ground' venue|work=BBC Sport |access-date=26 April 2022}}

The group winners and runners-up advanced to the quarter-finals.

;Tiebreakers

In the group stage, teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 18.01 and 18.02):

Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
Goal difference in all group matches;
Goals scored in all group matches;
Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
Lower disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
UEFA coefficient ranking for the final draw.

Legacy

Effects of Euro 2022 seen before it was hosted include the creation of Manchester United W.F.C. and the investment of the BBC to begin broadcasting WSL games following the tournament.{{Sup|:813}} The tournament was also used as an opportunity to highlight women's football. The National Football Museum held the first part of an exhibit on women's football history over the course of Euro 2022, among other endeavours to amplify women's voices in football, including collaborating with the Football Association (FA) on a heritage project, interviewing women including former Lionesses.{{Cite web |title=The UEFA Women's Euros 2022 – the legacy {{!}} National Football Museum |date=18 August 2022 |url=https://www.nationalfootballmuseum.com/news/weuro-legacy/ |access-date=2023-02-26 |language=en-US |archive-date=26 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230226235107/https://www.nationalfootballmuseum.com/news/weuro-legacy/ |url-status=live }} England invested £3.1{{Nbsp}}million into related social impact programmes across the country, including the Euro 2022 roadshow, which travelled to ten cities and attracted over 35,000 visitors to learn about the history of women's football.

Upon both nations in the final having been decided, online betting had seen a record number of bets for women's football, with Bloomberg News writing that no matter which team took the title, women's football would be the winner. Behind the UK and Germany, the third-most online bets for the tournament were recorded in Brazil.{{Cite news |date=2022-07-29 |title=Women's Football Emerges a Winner as Euros Draw Record Bets |language=en |work=Bloomberg.com |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-29/england-vs-germany-odds-bets-at-ladbrokes-tell-emergence-of-womens-football |access-date=2023-02-26}} The tournament achieved an estimated live viewership of around 365 million globally via all channels and fan engagement on social media saw related hashtags on Twitter and TikTok reach over a billion views each, marking successful growth in international popularity of and interactive elements of women's football.

Following the tournament, it was reported that a record 29,000 girls were set to compete in the National Cup in 2022–23, with the FA saying that England's victory was a factor in the popularity of women's football in the UK increasing so substantially afterwards. Media rights for women's football had increased by 289% compared to the previous Women's Euro.

England and UEFA rolled out a legacy programme ahead of the tournament, to run through 2024, in the host cities. By August 2022, a month after the conclusion of the tournament, the number of new participants in girls' and women's football was in the tens of thousands. Before this, the number of school-age girls in England dropping out of sports primarily due to societal reasons had been at a record high.{{Cite news |date=2022-11-08 |title=Why are girls dropping out of sport and what can be done about it? |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/63553277 |access-date=2024-12-08 |work=BBC Newsround |language=en-GB}} In October 2022, UEFA reported that spectators of Euro 2022 were overwhelmingly likely to watch more women's football in future, and that the tournament had equally-significantly improved perceptions of women's football. Nearly three-quarters of residents in host cities felt that Euro 2022 had brought their communities closer, and millions of pounds sterling boosted local economies. Hundreds of thousands of opportunities in grassroots football in England were created, with some people saying that watching Euro 2022 encouraged them to be more active.

Dr Rachael Bullingham of the University of Gloucestershire opined that the positive image of the tournament and its numerous openly LGBT+ players would help with awareness of LGBT+ issues in sport and encourage more sportspeople to come out, as well as improving public attitudes towards homosexuality in general.{{Cite web |last=Herbert |first=Jonathan |date=2022-06-28 |title=Women's Euro 2022 set to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ in sports |url=https://www.glos.ac.uk/content/womens-euro-championships-set-to-raise-awareness-of-lgbtq-in-sports/ |website=University of Gloucestershire |access-date=27 March 2023 |archive-date=27 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230327132518/https://www.glos.ac.uk/content/womens-euro-championships-set-to-raise-awareness-of-lgbtq-in-sports/ |url-status=live }}
