Notes
  1. Krumovgrad will host their matches at Sporten kompleks "Nikola Shterev - Starika", Plovdiv, as their own venue, Krumovgrad Stadium, Krumovgrad, does not meet BFU requirements.[16]
  2. Ballkani played their home match at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina, instead of their regular stadium, the Theranda City Stadium in Suva Reka, which did not meet UEFA requirements.
