2024–25 UEFA Nations League promotion/relegation play-offs

On 25 January 2023, the UEFA Executive Committee confirmed an altered format for the 2024–25 Nations League, including the addition of the promotion/relegation play-offs. In addition to the automatic promotion and relegation decided by the league phase, the promotion/relegation play-offs will determine the final composition of the leagues for the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League. The matches will be played home-and-away over two legs. If the team from the higher league is the winner, both teams will remain in their respective leagues, whereas if the team from the lower league wins, they will be promoted to the higher league, with the losers relegated to the lower league. The match-ups in the promotion/relegation play-offs are as follows: • The third-placed teams of League A faced the runners-up of League B (four ties in March 2025). • The third-placed teams of League B faced the runners-up of League C (four ties in March 2025). • The two best-ranked fourth-placed teams of League C will face the runners-up of League D (two ties in March 2026). The teams from the higher leagues were seeded, and will play the second leg at home. In the two-legged ties, the team that scores more goals on aggregate is the winner. If the aggregate score is level, extra time is played (the away goals rule is not applied). If the score remains level after extra time, a penalty shoot-out is used to decide the winner. ==Qualified teams==

The following teams qualified for the promotion/relegation play-offs. ==Draw==

The draw for the promotion/relegation play-offs was held on 22 November 2024, 12:00 CET, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, along with the draw for the League A quarter-finals and semi-finals. In the draw, the teams from the higher leagues were seeded and drawn to host the second leg, while the teams from the lower leagues were unseeded and drawn to host the first leg. First, all teams from the unseeded pot were drawn into pairings in order (from pairing 1–4 for A/B and B/C, and pairing 1–2 for C/D), after which teams from the seeded pot were randomly drawn into the pairings (in numerical order) as their opponents. No conditions on prohibited clashes applied in the draw. ==Schedule==
