What changes have been made for the 2024/25 Nations
League?
The UEFA Nations League has been expanded with a new knockout
round to be played in March 2025, thereby creating continuity
between the group phase ending in November and the finals played in
June.
The League A group winners and runners-up will participate in
home-and-away quarter-finals, with the winners of these ties
qualifying for the Final Four.
The fourth-placed teams in Leagues A and B are automatically
relegated to League B and C respectively. The two lowest-ranked
fourth-placed teams in League C, meanwhile, are relegated to League
D.
The four group winners in Leagues B and C, as well as the two
group winners in League D, are automatically promoted to Leagues A,
B, and C respectively.
The third-ranked teams of League A and the runners-up of League
B, as well as the third-ranked teams of League B and the runners-up
of League C, will play a home-and-away promotion/relegation
play-off.
There will also be play-offs between the two best-ranked
fourth-placed teams from League C and the two runners-up from
League D.
The expansion of the UEFA Nations League into the International
Match Calendar window of March will only concern a selected number
of teams and the remaining teams will already be available to start
the European Qualifiers.
