This season's UEFA Nations League is divided into four leagues. In League A, the top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals, with the four winners progressing to the final tournament.

In addition, the group winners in Leagues B and C earn automatic promotion, while the runners-up must compete in promotion play-offs.

In League A, the two lowest-ranked teams are automatically relegated, while the fate of the other teams is determined through play-offs.

Furthermore, starting from the 2028/29 season, following another competition format change, all teams in League D will be promoted to League C.
