"Scotland will face Switzerland, Slovenia and North Macedonia in Group B1 in the next edition of the Nations League. Scotland will play each opponent home and away, with the fixtures grouped into three double-headers in September, October and November. Group winners are promoted, runners-up go into a play-off against a third-placed League A side, third faces a relegation play-off with a second-placed League C side and fourth drops straight into the tier below."
"A good showing could provide a safety net on the road to Euro 2028, which Scotland is co-hosting with England, Wales and Republic of Ireland. All four have to go through the qualification campaign, while Uefa has set aside two places for host nations who fail to get through. So a Nations League group winners route to play-offs would only come into play if more than two of the four fail to get through automatically."
Scotland is drawn into Nations League Group B1 with Switzerland, Slovenia and North Macedonia and will play each opponent home and away across three double-header international windows in September, October and November. Group winners gain promotion; runners-up enter a play-off with a third-placed League A side; third faces a relegation play-off with a second-placed League C side; fourth is relegated. Scotland dropped from League A after losing a two-legged play-off with Greece following a third-place finish. Scotland co-hosts Euro 2028 and must still qualify, with Uefa reserving two host places if needed. Scotland sits 38th in the Fifa rankings.
