Qualification

Skaters were eligible for the event if they represent a European member nation of the International Skating Union and have reached the age of 15 before 1 July 2018, in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters was the 2019 Four Continents Championships. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria, but the ISU mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.

Minimum TES

The ISU stipulates that the minimum scores must be achieved at an ISU-recognized senior international competition in the ongoing or preceding season, no later than 21 days before the first official practice day.

Men	28.00	46.00
