The Euro 2020 playoffs function as the first game in international triple-headers in October and November. Shamrock Rovers, Derry City and Bohemians will be in the Europa League draw and will wait until August 27 for their opening encounter. The original pre-Covid plan was that the group winners and the best runner up would make the final tournament in Slovenia and Hungary automatically with the other second placed sides entering the playoff.
