Perspective
League A consists of the 16 top-ranked UEFA members according to the Women’s European Qualifiers overall phase rankings (based on the Women's Euro 2025 qualifying overall ranking, taking into consideration promotion/relegation at the conclusion of that competition),[1] split into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in February, April, and May/June 2025. The winners of each group will advance to the Nations League Finals.[2][3]
The competition will also act as the first phase of the qualifying competition for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, which will use an identical league structure. The four last-placed teams from each group will be relegated to League B for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition. In addition, the four third-placed teams of League A will advance to the relegation play-offs against the four runners-up of League B. The winners of the home-and-away ties will enter League A for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition, while the losers will enter League B.[3]
The Nations League Finals will take place in October to December 2025 and will be played in a knockout format, consisting of two-legged semi-finals, a third-place play-off over two legs, and a two-legged final. An open draw will determine the pairings and the hosts of the first legs of the semi-final matches, as well as which semi-final pairings will host the first tie of the third place play-off and final matches.[3]
