If you’re a football fan, the Nations League is where the action lives between big tournaments. It gives the big teams a chance to play competitive matches and the smaller nations a shot at promotion. Here you’ll find the most recent scores, upcoming games and a quick guide to how the competition works, all in plain English.
The league is split into four divisions – A, B, C and D – each with four groups of three teams. Teams play home and away fixtures, earning three points for a win and one for a draw. The group winners in Division A move on to a final four (semi‑finals, a third‑place game and the final) to decide the champion. Meanwhile, the bottom teams in each group drop down a division, and the top teams in the lower divisions get promoted. This promotion‑relegation system keeps every match meaningful.
Week 3 has delivered a few surprises. In Group 1 of Division A, England edged Italy 2‑1 with a late penalty, while Spain beat Croatia 3‑0 after a dominant first half. Over in Division B, Sweden secured promotion after a 1‑0 win over Hungary, thanks to a goal in the 78th minute. If you missed any of those games, the quick‑look scores are right here, and the full match reports are just a click away on our site.
For those tracking the race to the finals, keep an eye on the showdown between Portugal and France in Group 2. Both teams have already won their opening games, so the next match could decide who tops the group and earns a semi‑final spot. Expect tight defending and a lot of set‑piece drama – both teams love those.
Want to know where to watch? Most games are streamed on national broadcasters and the official UEFA platform. In the UK, BBC and ITV share the rights, while in Germany it’s ARD and in Spain it’s RTVE. If you have a smart TV, just look for the UEFA app and you’ll find the live feed without needing a cable subscription.
What about the players? The Nations League is a great stage for squad rotation. Strikers who get limited minutes in the Euros or World Cup often use this competition to prove they belong. Keep an eye on England’s Jude Bellingham, who’s been delivering assists from midfield, and Poland’s Piotr Zieliński, who’s scored three goals so far.
Following the league is easier than you think. Set up a Google Calendar alert for your favorite team's fixtures, or use a sports app that pushes live scores. We also update our tag page daily with the latest match reports, player ratings and tactical breakdowns – perfect for a quick catch‑up during a lunch break.
Finally, remember that the Nations League impacts the Euro qualifying play‑offs. The best group runners‑up that didn’t qualify directly for the Euros get another shot via the play‑offs, so every point still matters. That’s why even a “dead‑rubber” game can be a game‑changer for the next tournament.
So whether you’re cheering for a top‑four side or rooting for a promotion battle in Division C, the Nations League offers nonstop football drama. Stay on top of scores, schedule your watch‑list, and enjoy the unique mix of competition and opportunity that only this tournament can deliver.
