How to watch the UEFA Nations League 2024/25 draw
- 2024/25 UEFA Nations League is the fourth iteration of the competition
- Draw for the latest edition is imminent
- UEFA will broadcast the draw via their website
With Euro 2024 on the horizon, the UEFA Nations League has been thrust the peripheries of those competing in Germany this summer.
However, the fourth iteration of the tournament will get underway relatively soon after the latest European champion is crowned in Berlin.
While just 24 nations will compete at the Euros this summer, the 54 UEFA member associations will once again be a part of the inclusive Nations League designed to detract 'meaningless' friendlies from the international calendar.
England's dire 2022/23 campaign means they'll be competing alongside Wales and the Republic of Ireland in League B this time around. Scotland are the only Home Nation representative in League A.
The draw for the 2024/25 iteration is imminent and here's how you can watch it unfold.

Who won the last Nations League?
The 2022/23 UEFA Nations League was won by Spain, who beat Croatia on penalties after a goalless final in Rotterdam. La Roja had beaten Italy in the semi-finals after finishing top of Group A2, which also included Portugal, Switzerland and Czechia.
Giants like France and Germany failed to make the semi-finals, while Wales were among the teams relegated into League B.
How did England do?
It was a disappointing campaign for England last time out. Gareth Southgate's side couldn't build any momentum in Group A3, failing to win any of their six games as they finished last behind Italy, Hungary and Germany.
That means the Three Lions will play in League B for the first time since the competition's inception, with countries like Ukraine, the Republic of Ireland and Norway all possible opponents in 2024/25.
