  • The 2024/25 UEFA Nations League draw is scheduled to take place on Thursday, February 8, 2024, in Paris. The ceremony is set to begin at 5.00pm GMT, determining the group stages for Europe’s premier international tournament.

  • UK fans can watch the event live for free via the official UEFA website or through a live stream provided by the Sky Sports website. While not on traditional TV, these digital platforms offer full coverage.

  • England will be in League A after their promotion in the previous edition.

  • The Three Lions are positioned in Pot 3 of League A alongside Serbia, Belgium, and Norway. Because they are in the same pot, England cannot be drawn against these specific nations during the group stage selection process.

  • Pot 2 consists of Italy, Netherlands, Denmark and Croatia. Pot 4 is made up of Wales, Czechia, Greece and Turkiye.
  • The draw will see teams drawn into groups of four from the four pots, with Pot 1 consisting of Portugal, Spain, France and Germany.

  • Six fixtures will be played home and away against each other to finalise positions in each group.

  • Performances in this tournament can impact World Cup qualifying. High-ranking Nations League teams may receive a safety net for the World Cup play-offs.
