It depends on the company, but in general no.
In general if it came down to two people, one who has a degree but not quite all the experience, and someone who doesn't have a degree but checks all the check marks and had a good interview, they will go after the person without the degree.

Though with that said if they BOTH checked all the check marks and everything was equal, the one with the degree might end up getting the opportunity first.

When I'm interviewing someone I look to see if they are getting or have a degree as I think it shows dedication which is great to see, but it plays the smallest of roles in me wanting you hired.
