Format
There being seven pools of either three or four teams each, the winners of each pool and the 5 best runners-up will qualify for the 2021 European Championship. The pools will be played in a double round-robin tournaments format officially from 30 August 2020 to May 2021, according to the CEV web site. Since there is a different number of teams across the seven pools, the results of the matches played with the teams finishing last in the pools of four will be discarded in order to determine the five best runners-up across all pools.
