UEFA has confirmed that for this year’s tournament in Germany, teams can make up to five substitutions during regular time. These substitutions must occur within a maximum of three stoppages in play per team, excluding half-time and other match delays. Notably, substitutions made during drinks breaks for hot weather will count as stoppages, aligning with regulations seen in major domestic leagues.

In matches that extend into extra time, each team will be permitted an additional substitute, along with one more stoppage of play per team during that period. The periods between the end of regular time and the start of extra time, as well as the half-time interval in extra time, are not considered stoppages.
