Notes

The UEFA Nations League was re-structured after the first edition with leagues A, B and C each increased to 16 teams. P = Promoted to the next highest league for the next edition, R = Relegated to the next lowest league for the next edition. Positions in parentheses within leagues B, C and D are the rankings within that league.

Nations League placings were used to offer alternative routes to the World Cup and European Championship finals via the play-offs for teams that did not qualify directly from their group (* = qualified via this route, # = the two nations that appeared in World Cup qualifying play-offs via this route). All European Championship play-off placings were as a result of their Nations League ranking.

The FIFA rankings are the last published for each year (November or December). Underlined rankings are the highest (in green) or lowest (in red) for that country at the end of a year.

After qualifying for the 2022 World Cup play-offs, Russia were disqualified from all competitions because of their invasion of Ukraine.

Key: DNQ = Did Not Qualify, dsq = Disqualified, PO = Play-off, QF = Quarter-finals, rnd = Round, RU = Runners-up, SF = Semi-finals.
