Nations League 2026-27: Fixtures Worth Circling & the Shirts to Wear
The UEFA Nations League is back for its fifth edition — and the 2026-27 league phase might be the strongest top flight yet. Six matchdays between late September and mid-November, League A stacked with every major nation, and a schedule with almost no filler: Italy vs Belgium on matchday one, England vs Spain at Wembley, and France vs Italy before October even arrives.
Fixtures Worth Circling
Then the return legs land in mid-November: Italy vs France and England vs Croatia on November 13, Spain vs England at 20:45 CET on November 15, Germany vs Netherlands on November 16, and the league phase wraps November 18 with Portugal vs Denmark and Wales vs Norway. The group winners go to next summer's finals; everyone else fights relegation. No dead rubbers anywhere.
