The current competition format consists of three stages: a qualifying round, an elite round and a final tournament. The first stage takes place in autumn of the previous year, while the elite round is played in spring. The winners of each elite round group join the host team in the final tournament, played in May. Until the 1997 tournament, players born on or after 1 August the year they turned 17 years were eligible to compete. Since the 1998 tournament, the date limit has been moved back to 1 January.[2] In 2001/2002 the competition was renamed European Under-17 Championship, but the eligibility rules did not change.

In 2023, the German U-17 became the first UEFA team in this age group to become European and world champions with the same cohort.
For certain tournaments, the official website UEFA.com subsequently named a Golden Player or Player of the Tournament.
The Top scorer award is awarded to the player who scores the most goals during the tournament.
