Nations League 2026‑27, read for Euro 2028

Common questions

How does the Nations League affect Euro 2028 qualifying?
It supplies the play-offs. After the 20 direct places and the hosts' two reserved places are settled, the remaining places go to play-offs between the leftover group runners-up and the best-ranked 2026-27 Nations League group winners who have not already qualified. The Nations League group stage also seeds the qualifying draw.
Who is top of each Nations League group right now?
The leaders as of 4 November 2026 are listed above the tables, group by group. Most groups have played 4 of 6 matches, so the November window can still change them.
Where do the Euro 2028 hosts stand in the Nations League?
England are 2nd in Group A3 on 9 points; Scotland are 3rd in Group B1 on 4 points; Wales are 3rd in Group A4 on 3 points; Republic of Ireland are 3rd in Group B3 on 5 points, as of 4 November 2026.
