The format of the Nations League
- The 55 European national teams have been divided into four leagues based on Uefa's national association coefficient rankings on 11 October, 2017.
- Leagues A and B, the top two divisions, will consist of four groups of three teams.
- League C will comprise one group of three teams and three groups of four sides, while League D will be made up of four groups of four teams.
- The draw for the first phase Nations League will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 24 January, 2018.
- In each league, four group winners are promoted (or play in the Nations League Finals, see below) and four teams are relegated for the next competition to be played in 2020.
- The overall Nations League rankings will determine the composition of the draw pots for the subsequent European qualifiers (European Championship or World Cup).
- The Nations League will also provide four teams which will contest play-offs in March 2020 (see below) to qualify for Euro 2020.
