The UEFA Nations League has begun and England are into the semi-final.However, Europes new international football competition confused many when first introduced.Scroll down to see an explanation of how it all works.7

The UEFA Nations League format makes sense… once you get the hang of it

What is the UEFA Nations League?The UEFA Nations League is UEFAs new international league-based tournament designed to keep European teams busy with competitive matches, rather than having so many friendlies.It takes place once every two years and begins after a major summer tournament (in this case the 2018 World Cup).7

How does the UEFA Nations League work?The UEFA Nations League consists of four leagues (A, B, C & D).The 55 participating countries are separated into the four leagues based on their UEFA coefficient ranking (which is based on their recent performances in international football).Each league is then separated into four small groups (the draw for this took place in January).7

The UEFA Nations League groups

Each group contains either three or four teams who must play each other home and away between September-November 2018.In League Ds groups, the winner of each group is promoted to League C.In League Cs groups, the winner of each group is promoted to League B, while the bottom-placed team from each group is relegated to League D.In League Bs groups, the winner of each group is promoted to League A, while the bottom-placed team from each group is relegated to League C.In League As groups, the winner of each group earns a place in the UEFA Nations League Finals, while the bottom placed team from each group is relegated to League B.7

How the UEFA Nations League finalists are decided, as well as promotion and relegation

Seven months after the UEFA Nations League groups finish (in November 2018) the UEFA Nations League Finals will take place (in June 2019).The UEFA Nations League Finals is a very simple tournament consisting of the four teams who won their League A groups.There will be two semi-finals and a final to determine the UEFA Nations League champions.7
