"The 2026-27 Uefa Nations League campaign will take place between September 2026 and June 2027, with the draw for the tournament commencing on Thursday, 12 February. The competition began in 2018 and the format sees each nation compete across four different divisions. Each side competes for promotion and relegation in every campaign, with the best-performing nations in the top league going on to reach the play-offs at the end of each campaign."
"The best-performing nations in each Nations League campaign can also strengthen their chances of qualifying for World Cups and European Championships, but cannot directly qualify for major tournaments through the Nations League alone. Of the four leagues, teams are split into smaller groups. Leagues A, B and C are split into four groups of four, while League D contains only six teams. Uefa also operates a Nations League in international women's football with a similar format."
