In the Nations League, group winners earn the opportunity to play in a higher group next season. Namely, the team that wins one of the C groups gets the opportunity to compete in one of the B groups, while the winners of the B groups compete in the A groups next season. The weakest teams in Group C meet in knockout matches to determine the two teams that will be relegated to League D, replacing its two strongest teams.
The Nations League tournament is taking place for the third time.
The final tournament of the previous season took place last October, with France defeating Spain in the title race. In the first season, Portugal hosted the final tournament, the hosts becoming the first UEFA Nations League champions in history.
