With Euro 2024 on the horizon, the UEFA Nations League has been thrust the peripheries of those competing in Germany this summer.
However, the fourth iteration of the tournament will get underway relatively soon after the latest European champion is crowned in Berlin.
While just 24 nations will compete at the Euros this summer, the 54 UEFA member associations will once again be a part of the inclusive Nations League designed to detract ‘meaningless’ friendlies from the international calendar.
England’s dire 2022/23 campaign means they’ll be competing alongside Wales and the Republic of Ireland in League B this time around. Scotland are the only Home Nation representative in League A.
The draw for the 2024/25 iteration is imminent and here’s how you can watch it unfold.
The 2024/25 UEFA Nations League draw will take place in Paris on Thursday 8 February at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT)
The 2024/25 UEFA Nations League draw will be streamed in full on UEFA’s online platform, UEFA.tv.
The 54 UEFA member nations have been divided into four Leagues based on their performance in the 2022/23 Nations League. 16 teams are involved in each of Leagues A, B, and C (four groups of four), while just six compete in League D (two groups of three).
For each League, teams have been divided into four pots (1, 2, 3 and 4) based on their 2022/23 Nations League rankings.
