Background |
The UEFA Nations League was unanimously adopted at the XXXVIII
Ordinary UEFA Congress in Astana on 27 March 2014.
The format
for the fifth UEFA Nations League will again feature promotion and
relegation. The 54 European national teams—Russia are still suspended
from all UEFA activity—have been divided into four leagues in
accordance with UEFA's first Nations League project.
After
participating in League B for first time, England returned to participate in League A and therefore,
will hope to feature in the Finals in June 2027.
The UEFA Nations League will continue as per the previous campaign,
in that there will be a knockout round
to be played in March 2027, thereby creating continuity between the
league 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 tournament. The remaining group winners are
automatically promoted. 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 draw took place on Thursday, 12
February 2026 in Belgium at the Palais 3 at Brussels Expo, in the
shadow of King Baudoin Stadium. League A was drawn by .
