The 2024–25 UEFA Nations League will be the fourth season of the UEFA Nations League.
The competition will run from September to November 2024 (league phase), March 2025 (League A quarterfinals and League A/B and B/C play-offs), June 2025 (Nations League Finals), and March 2026 (League C/D play-offs).
Spain are the defending champions, having won the 2023 finals.
