In a new twist, France will take part in qualifying and play in one of the groups, but their points will have no actual bearing on qualification.
Their games will effectively be friendlies to pad out the schedule and help the hosts to prepare for the competition with high-profile tests.
Gibraltar are in the draw for the first time and will be kept separate from Spain due to political tensions, while the same applies to Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The top two teams qualify automatically for Euro 2016, plus the best third-place finisher. The remaining eight sides in third go into play-offs in November 2015.
