Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see Article 14 Equality of points – mini-tournaments, Regulations of the UEFA Futsal Champions League):[3]

1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point);
8. UEFA futsal club coefficients.

For the ranking of second-placed teams in the preliminary round, teams are also ranked according to points, with the following tiebreakers applying in case of a tie.

1. Goal difference in all group matches;
2. Goals scored in all group matches;
3. Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point);

A total of 32 teams played in the preliminary round. Seeding of teams was based on their 2021 UEFA futsal club coefficients. Eight teams were pre-selected as hosts and were first drawn from a separate pot to their corresponding seeding position. The remaining teams were then drawn from their respective pots to their corresponding seeding position. Due to political reasons, teams from Kosovo and Serbia could not be drawn into the same group.

• Path A (16 teams): the title holders and teams ranked 1–11 and 16–19.

On Path B, the seeding position 3 and 4 were drawn from the same pot, comprising all teams advancing from the preliminary round, with the exception of Luxol St Andrews, who attributed to seeding position 2 as top ranked team advancing from the previous round. Eight teams (four in each path) were pre-selected as hosts and were first drawn from a separate pot to their corresponding seeding position. The remaining teams were then drawn from their respective pots to their corresponding seeding position. Teams from Kosovo and Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina or Armenia and Azerbaijan could not be drawn into the same group. Additionally, winners and runners-up from the same preliminary round advancing to the main round could not be drawn into the same group.
