The Nations League is a newer competition, started in 2021 and added more spectacle to the UEFA tournaments. Unlike the World Cup and Euros, it begins with a group stage and then has a break, with the Final Four playing in the finals later in 2025.
The Women’s Nations League 2025 Calendar is out. Especially the teams in League A have something to play for: the top two teams in each group remain in League A for the European Qualifiers for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Then the numbers three and four in the league A groups play off over two legs against the second-placed teams in each group of League B. The winner of each match play in League A for the European Qualifiers phase; the defeated teams will play in League B.

When is the next Women’s Nations League?
The Women’s Nations League is not just another international league. The format was used to qualify for tournaments such as the Paris 2024 Olympics, European Championships and World Championships. As the EURO 2025 qualifiers are finished underway, the next major tournament will be the Women’s World Cup 2027. To answer the question: when is the next Women’s Nations League? the competition started in February 2025.
On the busy schedule: Recently the FIFA agreed on their calendar 2026-2029. For the first time they really seem to keep the well being of the players in mind. The July and September international windows are gone and there have to be 10 weeks in between big tournaments and the next window. “This calendar is such a critical tool to ensure we continue to drive global professionalisation of women’s football,” said FIFA Chief Women’s Football Officer, Dame Sarai Bareman. We hope this also applies when they schedule the next Women’s Nations League, which is done by UEFA and not FIFA.
