UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying Group E

Group E of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying was one of the ten groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2020 finals tournament. Group E consisted of five teams: Azerbaijan, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia and Wales, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.

The top two teams, Croatia and Wales, qualified directly for the finals. Unlike previous editions, the participants of the play-offs were not decided based on results from the qualifying group stage, but instead based on their performance in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League.
