UEFA Nations League knockout stage, playoff draw: Results, fixture schedule for quarterfinals and relegation games

The 2024/25 UEFA Nations League group stage concluded during the November international break.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and Euro 2024 winners Spain were among the teams to secure qualification for the knockout phase and the opportunity to lift the trophy in 2025.

Some heroic performances from Scotland over the final matchdays ensured they avoided automatic relegation to League B and will instead contest a relegation playoff tie. Belgium will also face a two-legged tie to determine which tier they will play in for the next campaign.

The Sporting News will have the full draw results and completed schedule below once the event takes place in UEFA headquarters in Switzerland.
