The Uefa Nations League is an international competition played over a two-year cycle.

Uefa's nations are split into four leagues - League A, League B, League C and League D - with promotion and relegation at the end of each campaign.

The top three leagues are split into four groups, while League D contains two.

The winners in each League A group meet in one-legged semi-finals, with the victors reaching the final.

Performances in the Nations League also play a part in qualification for World Cups and European Championships.

In what is the fourth edition of the Nations League, finalists Spain and Portugal are both eyeing a second title.

Spain won the most recent final in 2023, beating Croatia on penalties following a goalless draw after 120 minutes.
