UEFA Nations League: competition overview

This page is the overview of the UEFA Nations League for the 2026/27 season. It brings together the competition's key facts and the main pages for following it: the table, the results, the fixtures, the top scorers and the predictions. Each section below explains what you will find and how to read it, so the daily data is easier to use whether you follow the tournament closely or only check the odds before a match.

How the UEFA Nations League is organised

The competition is played across Europe and begins with a group stage made up of 14 groups. Teams are placed in their group and play their group matches against the other members of that group. Every match is scored with the same points system: a win earns 3 points, a draw earns 1 point and a defeat earns nothing. The team with the most points in its group moves up the standings, and the table on the table page shows how each group stands at any given time.

A match lasts 90 minutes plus stoppage time. This matters when you read the markets, because some bets are settled on the first 90 minutes only, and extra time or a penalty shootout does not change them. Keep this in mind when you compare the match result with the bet you placed.

Betting on UEFA Nations League matches

The match pages offer a range of markets, and the same ones appear for every fixture in the competition. The main market is the simplest, but the others let you bet on the shape of the match rather than only on its result. Corners and cards lines are also available on the match pages for those who follow those statistics.

1X2

The 1X2 market covers the three possible outcomes of the match: a home win, a draw or an away win. It is settled on the 90 minutes plus stoppage time, so a match that goes to extra time is still judged on the score at the end of regular time. Double chance is listed alongside it and covers two of the three outcomes at once, which gives a lower price with a wider range of results that win the bet.

Total goals

Total goals markets ask whether the match will have more or fewer goals than a set line. The lines offered are 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5, each shown as over or under. As with the 1X2 market, these bets are settled on the 90 minutes only, so goals scored in extra time do not count.

Both teams to score

Both teams to score is a yes or no market. It wins if each side scores at least once within the 90 minutes plus stoppage time. It is a useful market when you expect an open game and want to avoid a bet on the exact result.

Asian handicap

An Asian handicap gives one team a virtual head start or deficit before the match begins, which removes the draw from the equation. The handicap is shown with a line on the match page, and the bet is settled against the adjusted score. Read the line carefully before you confirm a bet, because some handicaps are split and the outcome can be a half win or a half loss.

Correct score

The correct score market asks you to predict the exact final score after 90 minutes. It carries higher odds than the other markets because the number of possible results is large, so prices reflect how hard the outcome is to predict. Treat it as the most uncertain of the markets on the page.

Betting is for adults only, so you must be 18 or over to place a bet. A prediction is no guarantee of a result, and no bet should be placed with money you cannot afford to lose.

Table and form

The table ranks the teams in each of the 14 groups using the points system described above. It updates after every completed match, so the position of a team can change quickly during a round of fixtures. The table page also shows how each team has been performing recently, which is useful when you want to judge whether a side is in good form before you look at its next match. You can open the table of the competition at any time.

Results of the matches

The results page lists the matches that have already been played, with the final score of each one. The scores on this page refer to the full match, so a result that was decided after extra time or a penalty shootout will show as the score at the end of the game. Use the results to check how a team has performed in recent weeks and to compare it with the expectations of the markets. The complete record is on the results page.

Predictions and how they are made

The predictions for each match are built from the odds offered by several bookmakers. The margin built into those odds is removed, which turns the prices into probabilities. The tip shown on the page is the bet that these probabilities support. To judge whether a price is worth taking, the site calculates fair odds as 1 divided by the probability. When the best odds available are higher than the fair odds, the price is considered good.

Each tip carries a label that reflects its probability. A tip labelled likely has a probability of 60 per cent or more, a tip labelled possible sits between 50 and 60 per cent, and a tip labelled outsider has a probability below 50 per cent. Tips appear as soon as the bookmakers quote a match, which can be up to two weeks before kick-off. Every match page carries the main tip, a second tip, the probable scores, the absences, the form of both teams and the head to head record. You can see all of this on the predictions page for the competition.

Top scorers and cards

The top scorers page ranks the players who have scored the most goals in the competition so far. It is a useful reference when you are looking at total goals markets or at the form of a particular attacking team. The top scorers list is updated as new goals are recorded. The cards lines on the match pages let you follow disciplinary trends in the same way, and they sit alongside the corners lines in the markets described above.

Other competitions and European cups

The Nations League is one of several competitions that the site covers. Its national league pages, fixtures and predictions are available in the same format, so you can move between them without losing the way the data is presented. The three European club cups are also covered with the same kind of match pages, and you can find them through their own overviews: the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Conference League.
