Men's Nations League Tickets give you access to competitive football, not friendly matches. The 2026/27 edition of the UEFA Nations League will be the 5th running of the tournament, starting with the league phase on 24 September 2026 and ending on 17 November 2026. The quarter-finals will take place in March 2027, while the finals are scheduled for 9–13 June 2027. There are 54 countries participating in the tournament. The first round will see Netherlands v Germany, England v Spain, Türkiye v France and Italy v Belgium. Portugal enter the tournament as defending champions. Men's Nations League Tickets are available for every fixture. We also offer verified listings and buyer protection.
The UEFA Nations League was established in 2018 to replace international friendlies with meaningful games, and it has been successful. It features 54 national teams divided into four divisions based on their rankings. Each game has implications for promotion, relegation, or qualification for the finals.
It operates as follows. Leagues A, B and C all have 16 teams in four groups of four playing six home and away games. League D has six teams in two groups of three playing four games. Teams are assigned to the leagues based on the final overall ranking of the previous edition.
For League A, group winners and runners-up will play two-legged quarter-finals in March 2027. The four winners advance to the finals in June, where they play a five-day knockout competition consisting of two semi-finals, a third-place play-off and a final. Third-placed teams enter the relegation play-offs, while fourth-placed teams are relegated automatically.
Portugal won the inaugural 2019 edition on home soil. France won in 2021 in Milan. Spain won in 2023 at De Kuip. Portugal won again in 2025. They are the only country to have won the tournament twice.
The tournament has become one of the most popular events in international football. In the 2024/25 edition, there were 4,384,892 spectators across 188 matches, averaging 23,324 per match. Viktor Gyökeres was the top scorer with nine goals.
It has achieved its greatest success in lower divisions. Nations that had lost 6-0 in World Cup qualifying matches are now playing competitive football against teams of equal stature. League D has provided several of the smallest UEFA member nations with their first competitive wins.
Leagues A, B and C have six matchdays played over three international windows, and League D has four matchdays.
The 2026/27 calendar will use a long September/October window, which is the major change for this season. Matchdays one to four will be played between 24 September and 6 October. There will be four competitive matches in a fortnight instead of the usual two. Matchdays five and six will be played in November.
There is promotion and relegation between all four leagues. The League A group winners and runners-up qualify for the quarter-finals. The third-placed team plays a play-off against a League B runner-up. The fourth-placed team is relegated outright. It's the same story further down the pyramid, with League C and League D play-offs held separately in March 2028.
Portugal won the 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals, beating Spain to become the only team to win more than one title. France were third, and Germany fourth.
Spain entered the last finals as holders, having won the tournament in 2023. Their encounter with England on the opening weekend of this new edition is one of the fixtures to look forward to in the league phase.
The pressure is highest in League A, where the draw in Brussels on 12 February yielded four tough-looking groups.
League A Group 1 includes France against Italy, Belgium and Türkiye. League A Group 2 sees Germany take on the Netherlands, Serbia and Greece. League A Group 3 is arguably the toughest group: Spain, Croatia, England and Czechia — three of Europe's top eight sides, in a group of four. League A Group 4 has reigning champions Portugal, playing against Denmark, Norway and Wales.
Meanwhile, in League B are Scotland, Poland, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the Republic of Ireland — all desperate to reach the top flight.

The nations competing in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Select a team and view their tickets:
The Nations League brought back stakes to international football. Prior to 2018, an autumn break meant a friendly against any team you could find; now, there's a group game on, with promotion or relegation at stake, and the contrast in atmosphere is clear from the kick-off.
And this year's calendar has some very attractive fixtures on offer. The opening weekend includes the Netherlands vs Germany, England vs Spain at Wembley, Türkiye vs France in Istanbul and Italy vs Belgium. No group stage matchday at the Euros has ever been anything like that.
The longer break is also a plus. Between 24 September and 6 October there are enough matchdays to fit in two competitive internationals per week instead of just one, as was previously the case.
Every ticket listed is checked before being published, and your payment is held in escrow until the tickets have arrived. If the seller does not send the tickets, or they do not correspond to the listing, or if the match is cancelled, you are covered by buyer protection.
Unlike club football, international tickets are sold separately by each national team. Usually, the sale is first offered to members of a supporters' club and those who bought tickets for previous games, with a general sale available only if any remain. Away tickets are limited and tightly regulated, and often restricted to supporters registered with the visiting association's official travel organisation.
This is why using a ticket marketplace is the best option for neutral fans and for anyone who isn't a member of the national association involved.
Please note: due to a UEFA ban, the game between Croatia and England in Croatia on 3 October will take place without spectators. There will be no tickets available for the fixture and any listings offering them should be approached with caution.
As every country has its own pricing policy, ticket prices vary greatly between different nations.
In League C and D, tickets are the easiest to get hold of in European international football, with many costing under €25 and some significantly less. The smaller nations tend to price tickets to sell out their stadiums, and tickets to watch a competitive UEFA game in San Marino, Andorra or the Faroe Islands are cheaper than those for a second-division club game in England.
League B is a step up in price, but tickets typically range from €30 to €70, depending on which nation is hosting and who the opposition is.
With League A, the ticket market gets a lot tighter. The bigger matches, such as England vs Spain, Netherlands vs Germany and Italy vs Belgium, are priced like major tournament games, and venues like Wembley Stadium and other large arenas across Europe charge more for their seats. There will also be a separate market for the finals in June 2027 once the host city is announced.
The draw took place in February so all the fixtures have been decided, meaning there is no waiting for pairings to be announced. The national associations run several batches of sales over the summer and early autumn.
The first matchday starts on 24 September, so the September/October window is only weeks away rather than months. For the big marquee games in League A, these tickets are already selling.
If you are looking for League B, C or D games, there's still plenty of time and prices have remained steady. These are the matches where you'll find last-minute tickets.
For the June 2027 finals, the host has not yet been decided and will ideally be selected from the four teams that qualify. This means we won't know what we're planning for until after the quarter-finals are finished at the end of March 2027. It might be worth keeping an eye out for tickets starting then.
The group stage draw was held in Brussels on 12 February 2026, creating Group A3, which features Spain, Croatia, England and Czechia. In Group A1, France were drawn alongside Italy, Belgium and Türkiye.
Kick-off is set for 24 September across all four divisions with Netherlands v Germany, Portugal v Wales and Norway v Denmark also on the card. England take on Spain at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 26 September.
England's away match against Croatia on 3 October will be played behind closed doors due to a UEFA sanction on the hosts. They then host Czechia on 6 October, followed by the home fixture against Croatia on 12 November, and finish the campaign away to Spain on 15 November.
The four quarter-final winners in League A progress to the finals which will be held between 9–13 June 2027. Semi-finals take place on 9 and 10 June, and the third-place play-off and final on 13 June. The host nation is yet to be confirmed.
The league phase starts on 24 September 2026 and concludes on 17 November 2026 across six matchdays. Matchdays one to four will take place during an extended September and October window, running between 24 September and 6 October.
All 54 UEFA member nations are divided into four divisions based on their overall ranking. There are four leagues: Leagues A, B and C have 16 teams each, in four groups of four, where they play six games. League D consists of six teams, split into two groups of three, where they play four games. The League A group winners and runners-up qualify for the quarter-finals. There is promotion and relegation between the divisions.
Portugal won the 2025 finals for a second time, meaning they're the only team to have won the competition twice. France came third and Germany fourth.
The 2027 finals will run from 9 to 13 June 2027 and feature the four quarter-final winners from League A. Semi-finals take place on 9 and 10 June, with the third-place play-off and final on 13 June. The host nation is yet to be confirmed but will preferably be one of the four finalists.
Ticket prices vary depending on the host association. League C and D matches are often priced below €25, while League B fixtures range from €30 to €70. High-profile League A matches like England v Spain are typically priced similar to other major tournaments.
The match scheduled for 3 October 2026 is subject to a UEFA sanction against Croatia, meaning that spectators will not be permitted in the stadium. No tickets will be offered for sale.
France, Italy, Belgium, Türkiye, Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, Greece, Spain, Croatia, England, Czechia, Portugal, Denmark, Norway and Wales.
