UEFA Nations League fixtures 2026-27

Nations League fixtures list the scheduled matches across Leagues A, B, C and D, with dates, groups and kick off times. The match schedule brings football and soccer readers the African time columns alongside each fixture, with completed games linked to their results.

The competition began in September 2018, giving European national teams a regular competitive programme in place of many friendlies. The Uefa Nations League hub explains the wider competition; the fixture list is where you plan the viewing. Like arranging a viewing centre meet in Lagos, agreeing on the match means little until everyone agrees on the time.

How Do You Find Nations League Fixtures by Group?

Use the league, group and date filters to find the fixtures you want. Read each match row for the opponents, venue, stage and local time, then check its status before making plans. The Uefa Nations League table explains what is at stake in that group, including qualification, promotion, relegation and possible play offs. A country name alone does not tell you whether the game belongs to the league phase or a knockout round.

Which Kick Off Time Applies in Your Country?

Match WAT to Nigeria, GMT to Ghana and SAST to South Africa; EAT serves viewers in Kenya as well as Uganda. Compare all four columns when planning to follow the same national team across borders. Those African offsets remain constant across the calendar; European seasonal clock adjustments can shift the gap to the host venue. Let the Nations League fixture conversion settle the viewing hour for each international break. In Kenya and Uganda, a late European start can also put the fixture on a different local date.

How Do You Follow Results and the Next Round?

Follow the match status and competition stage to distinguish a scheduled fixture from a completed result or an undecided knockout pairing. The Uefa Nations League results provide completed scores, while the fixture list identifies the next scheduled round. For a tie played over two legs, read the aggregate score alongside the individual result: winning one evening does not necessarily settle which team advances.

What Happens After the League Phase?

League A quarter finals decide the Finals participants, while promotion and relegation determine movement between leagues. Group winners and runners up in League A enter the quarter finals under the format introduced for the 2024-25 season. Elsewhere, finishing position can mean direct movement or a play off against a team from another league. Read the qualification labels beside each group before treating every second place or bottom place as equivalent.

The competition groups national teams into four leagues, creating competitive meetings between broadly comparable sides. Use the fixture module for the dates of league phase matches, knockout ties and the Finals.

Where Can You Watch or Follow in Africa?

For Nations League viewing, consult the television schedule or streaming listing serving your location and look for the named national teams. A listing available to viewers in Ghana need not cover Uganda; Nigerian, Kenyan and South African audiences should each verify their own service. When gathering to follow England through Bukayo Saka’s Nigerian connection, ask the venue which Nations League fixture it will screen. During matches you cannot watch, track score updates; afterwards, the Uefa Nations League stats offer another way to assess how the teams performed.

Which African Connections Should You Follow?

Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda do not enter the Nations League because it is a UEFA competition. Bukayo Saka represents England and has Nigerian parents, giving Nigerian viewers a specific family connection to follow. Check the confirmed squad and match lineup before choosing a fixture around an individual. For Super Eagles followers, keep the national shirt distinction clear: a Nigerian family connection does not by itself make someone a Nigeria international.
