UEFA and Nations League teams
15 September 2026
UEFA changed the 2026-27 Nations League promotion and relegation system ahead of the competition’s larger 2028-29 format. Only the two worst fourth-placed League A teams will now be relegated automatically, while the two best third-placed sides stay up.
The two worst third-placed teams and two best fourth-placed teams in League A will enter play-offs against League B runners-up. UEFA approved the adjustment to ease the transition toward three leagues of 18 teams from the 2028-29 edition.
