Format

League B consisted of 16 UEFA members ranked from 17–32 in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League access list, split into four groups of four. Each team played six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format on double matchdays in September, October, and November 2024.^[1] The winners of each group were promoted to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League A, and the fourth-placed team of each group were relegated to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League C. In addition, the second-placed and third-placed teams of each group advanced to the promotion/relegation play-offs, played home-and-away over two legs. The League B second-placed teams participated in promotion play-offs against the third-placed teams from League A, while the League B third-placed teams participated in relegation play-offs against the second-placed teams from League C, both taking place in March 2025. In the play-offs, teams from the higher leagues hosted the second leg, with the winners of each tie participating in the higher league for the next Nations League season, while the losers entered the lower league.^[2]
