The top two from each of the four pools advance to the last eight knockout stages where penalty shoot-outs kick in if the scores are level after 30 minutes of extra-time.
The semis are scheduled for Geneva and Zurich respectively on 22 and 23 July and the final will be played on 27 July at St Jakob-Park.
Before the draw at the Swiss Tech Convention Centre in Lausanne, the executive committee of the organisers Uefa approved a 41 million euro prize fund for the competition.
Uefa handed out 16m euros to the teams competing at the 2022 tournament in England which was delayed by a year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
