UEFA Nations League التذاكر

What the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League involves

The UEFA Nations League is a competition for European national teams, running alongside World Cup and European Championship qualifying to give countries competitive fixtures instead of one-off friendlies. The 2026/27 edition involves 54 nations, split across divisions and groups based on where each team finished in the previous edition, with promotion and relegation between divisions at stake as well as places in the later knockout stages.

Because every team is grouped with nations of a similar standard, matches tend to be closely contested, and the format rewards consistency across a short run of games rather than a single result.

League phase fixtures to look out for

The league phase opens in late September 2026 with a full round of fixtures. Netherlands host Germany at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, one of the standout ties of the opening round, while Portugal welcome Wales to the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.

Elsewhere, Norway face Denmark at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Austria host Israel at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz, and Serbia meet Greece at the Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade. Smaller nations are involved too, with Andorra hosting Malta, Kosovo facing the Republic of Ireland, and Liechtenstein taking on Lithuania all on the same matchday.

A day later, Armenia host Latvia at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan, and Georgia face Northern Ireland at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi.

Nations to follow through the competition

Among the bigger footballing nations involved this season are England, France, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, each playing a set of league-phase fixtures against nations from their own division before the top group winners move into a knockout stage.

The structure means fans can follow their national team's full run of home and away fixtures, or focus on a single tie between two well-matched sides in one of the smaller stadiums the competition uses.

How the competition progresses to a final

Once the league phase concludes, the top-ranked teams in the highest division advance to the Quarter-Finals, while results elsewhere in the standings determine promotion and relegation between divisions through the Promotion/Relegation Play-offs. The knockout stage then continues through the semi-finals to a final between the two strongest sides left in the competition.

Fans following the tournament as a whole rather than one nation can track the entire competition through the League Phase page as fixtures are added.

Choosing seats for Nations League matches

Nations League fixtures are played at a wide range of stadiums, from the 70,634-capacity Stadio Olimpico in Rome down to much smaller national grounds in countries such as Andorra and Liechtenstein, so it is worth checking stadium size before assuming a big crowd or a compact atmosphere.

This page compares UEFA Nations League ticket prices from StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365, so comparing more than one partner is worthwhile before buying.

• Check the exact stadium, since some national teams play home fixtures away from their usual ground
• Compare prices across partners for the same fixture before booking
• International fixtures often sell well in advance of derby-style match-ups between neighbouring countries
