What the 2028-29 Nations League will look like

By OnzeActu · il y a environ 2 mois · 5 min read

The composition of the new leagues for the 2028-29 edition of the Nations League will be determined by the results of the 2026-27 phase (matches from March 2027). UEFA has already communicated the principles to the federations.

Why it matters

The qualifying phase for the 2026-27 Nations League is crucial for the Spanish selection, as their performances will determine their position in the new structure of the competition for 2028-29. This season's results will directly influence the distribution of teams in the different leagues, thus impacting opportunities for future success. Spain's ability to advance to the quarter-finals could also boost its status among the top nations in European football.

Context

The Spanish selection, as a Nations League club, has a rich history in UEFA competitions. Its success in the qualifying phase will influence not only its position in the future League A, but also its image on the international scene. A strong performance could build confidence and team cohesion, essential for future competitions.

Así will be the Nations League 2028-29.

This Tuesday begins the concentration of the Spanish selection with a view to the qualifying phase of the 2026-27 Nations League, a UEFA competition whose 2028-29 edition inaugurates a new format. The European body has already transmitted to the national federations the broad outlines of this reform: the composition of the leagues for 2028-29 will directly depend on the results which will be obtained during the 2026-27 season.

According to the communicated note, the final configuration of the leagues for 2028-29 will emerge from the matches which will begin in March 2027. Several elements will determine the general classification: the quarter-finals of League A, as well as the cross qualifiers between League A and League B, and between League C and League D. These matches will therefore be decisive for the distribution of teams in the new scheme.

The future League A will bring together the selections ranked from 1st to 18th place in the general ranking from the 2026-27 campaign. Among them, eight teams will qualify for the quarter-finals, to which will be added the two third best ranked in League A. This first league will be completed by the four winners of the groups in League B and by the four winners of the confrontations between teams from League A and League B.

The new League B will be made up of nations ranked between 19th and 36th place in the general classification. This will include the two lowest ranked fourths in League A, the four teams eliminated in the playoffs between League A and League B, as well as four teams having finished third in their League B groups. League B will end with the addition of the four group winners from League C and the four victorious teams from the play-offs between League B and League C.

Finally, League C will bring together the selections ranked between 37th and 54th place. This league will notably include the four teams beaten in the play-offs between League B and League C, the eight nations having finished third and fourth in their groups in League C, as well as six teams from League D.

This redistribution, communicated by UEFA to the federations, shows the crucial importance of the 2026-27 campaign: each match will count to determine not only immediate sporting access but also the place of the teams in the European hierarchy for the 2028-29 edition. For the selections, the coming season thus takes on a strategic dimension beyond just short-term ambitions.

The rest

From March 2027, the qualifying matches will begin, and the results will be essential to establish the overall ranking which will determine the composition of the leagues for 2028-29. Spain will need to perform at a high level to secure a place in League A, where the best teams will compete. The implications of these matches will not be limited to qualification, but will also impact the team's season outlook for years to come.
