Nations League 2024-2025: what dates for the quarter-finals and the Final Four of the Nations League ?

The French team will play in the final phase of the League of Nations nations, but at what date ?

The group stage of the 2024 Nations League has come to an end. After missing out on the competition last time, France will be in the Nations League final phase. But unlike in previous years, quarter-finals have been scheduled before the Final Four, bringing together the four best teams in the tournament. The direct elimination phase has thus been reserved for the first two teams in each group of League A, whereas previously only the first could participate.

The quarter-finals of the 2025 Nations League, with the eight qualified teams, have been planned according to classic two-legged matches, before the semi-finals and the final, organized as single matches in a host country, as in previous editions. The quarter-finals will take place from March 17 to 25

For the first time, promotion and relegation play-offs between leagues have also been planned. As in the first three editions, the last team in each group is relegated to the lower league and the first team is promoted to the higher league. The new feature is therefore a play-off between the third-placed teams in each group against the second-placed teams in the lower league, still based on the principle of two-legged matches. League D only has 6 teams, only the two teams at the top have a chance of moving up to the next league, while the two teams in the worst fourth place in League C are condemned to relegation.

To further increase the stakes, four tickets for the 2026 World Cup play-offs have also been reserved for the best teams in this Nations League, not qualified via the qualifiers.

Here is the ranking of the 2024-2025 Nations League, by league and by group. France is ranked in Group 2 of League A with Belgium, Italy and Israel. The ranking is updated after each matchday.

The 2024-2025 Nations League schedule is divided into several days from September 5, 2024 to June 10, 2025, the date of the final of the competition. The group stage was launched in September 2024, the quarter-finals were scheduled for March 2025 and the Final Four in June 2025.

The Nations League is organized into four leagues. The top four and the four runners-up from the League A groups qualify for the quarter-finals in two-legged matches, then the winners play in the Final Four (semi-finals + final).

The winners of the Leagues B, C and D groups are promoted to the higher leagues and the bottom teams from Leagues A and B are relegated to the lower leagues. Each team ranked third in its group play a two-legged play-off to stay up, against a second-placed team from the lower league who are playing for promotion.

Since League D only has 6 teams, only the two teams that came top of their group go up, and the two weakest fourth-placed teams from League C go down.

The 2024-2025 Nations League distributes four precious tickets for the 2026 World Cup play-offs. The top four nations in the ranking general of the League of Nations (a 4th in a League A group is just ahead of a 1st in a League B group for example), who are not already directly qualified for the World Cup or the play-offs via the qualifiers, win these tickets. These four teams will join the twelve teams that will have finished second in the group in the qualifiers, to be divided into four paths of four teams in the form of a semi-final and final in single matches, each path winner qualifying for the World Cup.
