The 2026 UEFA European Under-19 Championship will be the 23rd edition of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship (73rd edition if the Under-18 and Junior era is also included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-19 national teams of Europe. Wales, which were selected by UEFA on 26 September 2023, will host the tournament. A total of 8 teams will play in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2007 eligible to participate.

Same as previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The top four teams of the tournament qualified for the 2027 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan as the UEFA representatives besides Azerbaijan who automatically qualified as co-host, with the fifth-placed team advance to the intercontinental play-off series.
