For the 2019–20 Rink Hockey Euroleague, the associations were allocated places according to their coefficient, which takes into account the performance of each association's representative teams in European competitions between the 2014–15 and the 2018–19 seasons. The coefficient is calculated by dividing the total of points accumulated by the number of participating teams. Participation is reserved to teams from associations that have an effective capacity to organise annually their own national championships. They will all have at least one team entering the competition. To allocate the other nine places, the D'Hondt method was applied to the coefficient of each association. In case of withdrawals, priority would be given according to the order established by the D'Hondt method.

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a home-and-away round-robin format. A total of six national associations were represented in the group stage.
