Format
editThe Nations League Finals was held from October to December 2025[2] and were contested by the four group winners of League A.
The competition was played in a two-legged knockout format, consisting of two semi-finals, a third place play-off, and a final, all played over two legs (this differs to the previous edition and all other men's editions where all the Nations Leagues Finals matches were single-legged). An open draw took place on 6 June 2025 to determine the pairings and order of legs for the semi-final matches, as well as which semi-final pairing had its teams host the first leg of the third-place play-off and final.[2][3]
The semi-final matches took place on 24 and 28 October, and the third place play-off and final matches took place on 28 November and 2 December.
The Nations League Finals were played in two-legged knockout matches, with the aggregate score over two legs determining the winner. If the aggregate score was level at the end of normal time in the second leg, 30 minutes of extra time would be played without the away goals rule, and if still level after extra time a penalty shoot-out would decide the winning team.[1]
