How it's used
Primarily used in the context of sports tournaments where teams are divided into groups, such as the World Cup. It specifically refers to the moment a team secures enough points or wins to advance past the initial group stage. It is rarely used for knockout competitions where there is no group phase.
Examples
We will qualify for the next round if we win this match.
Do you think they have a chance to qualify this year?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 晉級, which is a more general term for advancing to the next round of any competition. While 晉級 can be used for both group stages and knockout matches, 出線 is specific to qualifying out of a group or pool.
