The 1982 UEFA European Under-21 Championship was the 3rd staging of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship. The qualifying stage spanned two years (1980–82) and had 26 entrants. West Germany competed in the competition for the first time. England U-21s won the competition.

The 26 national teams were divided into eight groups (six groups of 3 + two groups of 4). The group winners played off against each other on a two-legged home-and-away basis until the winner was decided. There was no 3rd-place playoff.

Qualifying stage

Draw

  • Group 1 did not include Albania
  • Group 2 did not include Netherlands (moved to Group 8) and Republic of Ireland
  • Group 3 did not include Wales and Iceland
  • Group 4 did not include Norway (moved to Group 7)
  • Group 5 did not include Denmark (moved to Group 6) and Luxembourg (moved to Group 8)
  • Group 6 did not include Portugal, Northern Ireland and Israel, but included Denmark (moved from Group 5)
  • Group 7 did not include Malta, but included Norway (moved from Group 4)
  • Group 8 composed of Netherlands (moved from Group 2), Luxembourg (moved from Group 5) and Spain (who did not participate in World Cup qualification)
