The 38th European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships will be held from April 21 to 25 in Basel, Switzerland. This was the second time in five years that Switzerland hosted the European Championships. There was no junior competition this year.

Due to many countries withdrawing their athletes from the previous year's European Championships, these European Championships served as an Olympic qualification event for countries to qualify individual athletes to Tokyo. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held without spectators.

Format of Competition

All participating gymnasts, including those who were not part of a team, participated in a qualification round. The results of this competition determined which individuals participated in the remaining competitions, which included:

• The all-around competition, in which only the twenty-four highest scoring individuals in the all-around competed. Each country was limited to only two gymnasts in the all-around final.
• The event finals, in which the eight highest scoring individuals on each apparatus competed. Each country was limited to two gymnasts in each apparatus final.
