UEFA Nations League results 2026-27
Key takeaways
- UEFA Nations League results are organised by matchday, league and group.
- Read each score alongside the group table to understand its effect on qualification, promotion or relegation.
- A penalty shootout score is separate from the match score.
- African national teams do not compete, but supporters follow European teams through club players and diaspora connections.
UEFA Nations League results show scores by matchday, league and group, with scheduled kick-off times labelled WAT, SAST, EAT and GMT. Football supporters, including South Africans searching for soccer scores, can follow Leagues A, B, C and D through the results filters.
The Uefa Nations League began in September 2018, giving European national teams competitive matches against similarly ranked opponents. For readers across Africa, the useful detail is what follows each score: a changed qualification picture, a promotion opportunity or another fixture to fit around African internationals.
What Does Each Result Mean For The Table And Remaining Fixtures?
Read the result beside its group standings to see what it changes for that team. The Uefa Nations League table shows the promotion, relegation and League A qualification places; check games played before comparing points. Then open the Uefa Nations League fixtures for remaining matches and the dates of the next international windows. Keep the time-zone label beside the date: WAT serves Nigeria, SAST South Africa, EAT Kenya and Uganda, and GMT Ghana. A postponed match remains unresolved until it is played.
How Does The Format Work, And Where Are Earlier Results?
The competition divides teams into four leagues, with promotion and relegation connecting them across editions. Group winners move up from the lower leagues, while finishing positions can also lead to relegation or play-offs between neighbouring leagues. The format introduced in 2024-25 added League A quarter-finals for group winners and runners-up, with the winners advancing to the Finals. Select an edition in the archive for earlier results, including 2018-19, 2020-21, 2022-23 and 2024-25. Portugal’s 2025 final against Spain illustrates why the match score and shootout result need separate labels.
| Finals | Winner | Final Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Portugal | Portugal 1 to 0 Netherlands |
| 2021 | France | France 2 to 1 Spain |
| 2023 | Spain | Croatia 0 to 0 Spain; Spain won 5 to 4 on penalties |
| 2025 | Portugal | Portugal 2 to 2 Spain; Portugal won 5 to 3 on penalties |
What Can Scorers, Minutes And Match Events Tell You?
Scorers and event minutes explain how a result developed, while cards and substitutions add context to the score. FT means full time and HT means half time; in knockout matches, also check extra time, penalties and any aggregate score across both legs. Use the Uefa Nations League stats to compare scoring contributions across the selected edition. Club labels help African supporters recognise familiar players, while diaspora connections give European internationals another point of interest. Keep a player’s heritage distinct from the national team they represent.
How Does Qualification Connect, And How Can African Fans Follow?
Nations League performance can provide an additional route into qualifying play-offs, subject to the rules of the relevant tournament. For European Championship qualifying, check the edition’s allocation rules and whether a team has already qualified through its qualifying group. Winning a Nations League match does not itself secure a tournament place. For viewing schedules, readers in Nigeria use WAT, readers in Kenya and Uganda use EAT, readers in South Africa use SAST, and readers in Ghana use GMT. For coverage, check your local broadcaster and country listings, then confirm the displayed kick-off zone.
