Group A:
Bulgaria stayed alive on Crete with Borislava Hristova leading them past Sara Hinriksdottir and Iceland 74-53. Anna Stamolamprou and Greece were not able to get the home win, falling to Shante Evans and Slovenia 77-70. Slovenia has not officially qualified, but is in good shape.

Group C:
The first game in Sarajevo was at the bottom of the group and Charlotte Kohler helped Switzerland keep Estonia winless 63-60. Bosnia and Herzegovina was looking to repeat the result from the corresponding away game and got a good game from Jonquel Jones, but Raisa Musina and Russia came back in the second half for a 72-68 win, also flipping the tiebreaker back in their favor.

Group E:
The timely naturalization of Yvonne Anderson proved critical for Serbia as they prevailed in a wild 83-76 double overtime win over Turkey in Istanbul. A perfect record is still not enough to have officially qualified, but they are in good shape.

Group F:
Belarus was unable to play, so this group only had one game in Istanbul. Poland had a new naturalized player, but Great Britain rolled to a 77-49 win. How standings will work in this group still depends on how Belarus is handled.

Hungary nearly completed the comeback in Amsterdam, but the Netherlands managed to hang on to a 68-63 win. All the teams were tied at 1-1 entering the game so the hosts now take the advantage going into the last window.

Group I:
Andzelika Mitrasinovik had an impressive game for North Macedonia, but Laura Hebecker and Germany rallied in the second half to win 74-59 in Riga. Elina Babkina and hosts Latvia managed to avoid dropping another game at home, getting past Ivana Dojkic and Croatia 83-69. That leaves Croatia and Germany tied at 3-1 and Latvia behind them at 2-2 with a pair of games left to play.
