The 2025–26 European Aquatics Euro Cup qualification round is played between 3 and 5 October 2025 to determine the seven teams advancing to the group stage of the 2025–26 European Aquatics Euro Cup.

Format

The 16 teams were placed into four groups of four teams. In each group, teams will play against each other once in a round-robin format. The group winners and three best runners up will advance to the group stage.

  • 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;
  • Goal difference in all group matches;
