League A Standings — After Matchday 4
All four groups have now played four of their six league-phase matches. Teams are ordered on UEFA’s group-stage tiebreakers: points, then goal difference, then goals scored, then away goals.

| # | Team | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | France | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 2 | +5 | 10 |
| 2 | Italy | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 8 | 5 | +3 | 7 |
| 3 | Belgium | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 5 | +1 | 6 |
| 4 | Türkiye | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 11 | −9 | 0 |
France are three points clear at the top after a collapse and a comeback inside fourteen minutes. Dodi Lukébakio’s finish on 35 minutes, sent clear by Roméo Lavia’s pass, had Belgium on course for a first competitive win over France since 1981, but Zinédine Zidane emptied his bench and Désiré Doué, Rayan Cherki and Michael Olise scored four goals between the 77th and 91st minutes. Italy moved above Belgium into second with a 3–1 win over Türkiye in Bologna: Gianluca Scamacca’s 26th-minute volley was cancelled out by Aral Şimşir, substitute Riccardo Calafiori headed in Nicolò Barella’s free-kick three minutes later and Pio Esposito sealed it on 87 minutes. Türkiye have now lost all four and are bottom on a goal difference of −9.
Group A2 — Netherlands, Germany, Serbia, Greece

| # | Team | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Netherlands | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 7 | 5 | +2 | 8 |
| 2 | Greece | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 5 | 3 | +2 | 8 |
| 3 | Germany | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | +1 | 5 |
| 4 | Serbia | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 8 | −5 | 0 |
The Netherlands have taken over Group A2. Xavi Hernández’s side are level with Greece on eight points but top the group on goals scored, Teun Koopmeiners’ free-kick and Joshua Zirkzee’s close-range finish either side of Mihajlo Cvetković’s header beating Serbia in Eindhoven. Greece, who beat Germany in Augsburg a week earlier, held them to a goalless draw in Thessaloniki despite conceding the bulk of the chances. Germany stay third on five points, three behind the top two, and Serbia are bottom with four defeats from four.
Group A3 — England, Spain, Czechia, Croatia

| # | Team | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Spain | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 5 | +7 | 12 |

| 4 | Czechia | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 10 | −8 | 0 |
Spain made it four wins from four and extended their unbeaten run to 42 matches, but they had to come from behind in Split. Ivan Perišić put Croatia ahead on 17 minutes, reacting first after Unai Simón had saved Igor Matanović’s shot, and the hosts led at the break. Merino, on at half-time, levelled on 61 from Dani Olmo’s pass and then won it on 89, four minutes after Perišić was shown a second yellow card. On the same night England beat Czechia 3–0 at Wembley: Vladimír Coufal turned Harry Kane’s cross into his own net on 27 minutes, and Kane scored twice more, the second a back-post header from Lewis Hall’s corner on 57. Spain are already assured of top spot and a quarter-final place, England are three points back and all but through, Croatia stay third on three and Czechia are bottom without a point. The groups finish on 12–17 November.
Group A4 — Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Wales

| # | Team | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Portugal | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 4 | +5 | 12 |
| 2 | Denmark | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 6 |
| 3 | Norway | 4 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 6 | 8 | −2 | 3 |
| 4 | Wales | 4 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 5 | −3 | 3 |
Portugal were the first team into the quarter-finals, and Spain have since joined them. Kristoffer Ajer’s half-volley from a free-kick put Norway ahead in Porto, João Cancelo levelled two minutes later with a first-time finish from a long throw, and Gonçalo Ramos won it on 79 minutes from João Félix’s lay-off — Portugal finishing with ten men after Francisco Conceição was sent off late. Denmark are second on six after Rasmus Højlund converted a penalty in Cardiff, Danny Ward’s misplaced pass costing Wales the only goal of the game. Norway’s goal difference keeps them third, above Wales on the same three points.

Greece’s win in Augsburg was their first against Germany in eleven attempts and handed Jürgen Klopp a first defeat as Germany coach. Haaland scored for the second game running, but Gonçalo Ramos replied three minutes later — with Cristiano Ronaldo watching from the bench. Denmark’s two goals against Wales both came from Mikkel Damsgaard deliveries. On 28 September Michael Olise finally broke Belgian resistance in the 88th minute, carrying the ball from inside his own half before beating Senne Lammens, while Italy scored three times inside 27 minutes in Bursa through Alessandro Bastoni, Davide Frattesi and debutant Michael Kayode, then restored the three-goal cushion through Pio Esposito after Barış Alper Yılmaz had pulled one back. On 29 September the matchday closed with Spain beating Croatia 4–1 in Seville — Lamine Yamal scoring twice — and England winning 0–2 in Prague, where Pavel Šulc’s 25th-minute red card left Czechia with ten men for the last 65 minutes.
Matchday 3 Results — 1 to 3 October
All eight League A games in Matchday 3 are complete. England’s 7–0 win in Rijeka and Spain’s 3–1 defeat of ten-man Czechia on 3 October closed the round.

Klopp’s Germany were worth the wait: Florian Wirtz hit the post before Tom Bischof bundled in a first international goal, and Wirtz sealed it just after the hour in Munich. Portugal’s win was built on a breathless 12-minute first-half spell — Cancelo, Damsgaard and Gonçalo Ramos all scoring inside it — before Vitinha and João Félix finished the job after Højlund had levelled for a second time. Wales had never won in League A in eight attempts: Oscar Bobb put Norway ahead early from Martin Ødegaard’s through ball, Dan James levelled before the break and Neco Williams’ free-kick won it once Heggem had been dismissed. Twenty-four hours later Kevin De Bruyne rolled back the years in Liège with two goals in a 3–0 win over Türkiye, and in Paris Michael Olise’s curling finish off the underside of the bar — from a short Rayan Cherki free-kick — was cancelled out on 68 minutes by Alessandro Bastoni, with Dayot Upamecano sent off late as France finished with ten men. On 3 October Group A3 closed the round: England scored seven in Rijeka, where Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both doubled up and Jude Bellingham had a hand in four goals, and Spain beat Czechia 3–1 in a game that turned on a late red card for the Czechia captain.

Portugal had to come from behind in Porto, where Norway’s Kristoffer Ajer met a free-kick on the volley; Cancelo’s response arrived two minutes later and Ramos settled it late, with Conceição’s dismissal making for a nervous finish. The Netherlands were more controlled in Eindhoven, Koopmeiners scoring direct from a free-kick before Zirkzee restored the lead after Cvetković had headed Serbia level. Germany dominated in Thessaloniki without reward — an early goal was ruled out for a handball — and Højlund’s penalty in Cardiff was the difference between Denmark and Wales.
France then produced the finish of the round in Paris. A goal down with thirteen minutes left, Zidane’s substitutes scored four times in fourteen minutes: Doué levelled with a low shot from the edge of the box, Cherki turned the game round from Olise’s pull-back, and Olise added two more himself, the second in stoppage time. Italy had earlier moved above Belgium with their 3–1 win over Türkiye in Bologna, where Scamacca’s first-half volley was cancelled out just after the hour and two substitutes, Calafiori and Esposito, settled it.
Group A3 closed the round on Tuesday and produced the game of the block. Croatia led Spain through Perišić’s 17th-minute header, reacting first after Simón had saved from Matanović, but Merino turned it around from the bench — levelling on 61 and finishing Zubimendi’s pass on 89, with Perišić dismissed in between. At Wembley, England were three up inside an hour: Coufal bundled Kane’s cross into his own net on 27 minutes and Kane scored either side of the interval, the second a back-post header from Lewis Hall’s corner, on the night he equalled Peter Shilton’s 125-cap record.
Matchday 3 & 4 Results — 1 to 6 October
Matchday 4 complete: All eight games are in and the four groups read: A1 France 10, Italy 7, Belgium 6, Türkiye 0; A2 Netherlands 8, Greece 8, Germany 5, Serbia 0; A3 Spain 12, England 9, Croatia 3, Czechia 0; A4 Portugal 12, Denmark 6, Norway 3, Wales 3. Spain and Portugal are the two sides through to the quarter-finals, both with two games to spare, and Croatia vs Spain and England vs Czechia closed the round on 6 October. Matchdays 5 and 6 run 12–17 November.
How the 2026/27 Nations League Works
Fifty-four UEFA members are split into four leagues: A (16 teams), B (16), C (16) and D (6), and every group plays a home-and-away double round-robin across six matchdays.
In League A, each of the four groups sends its top two into a knockout phase that runs from the quarter-finals through to the final, while the bottom side in each group is relegated to League B. The third-placed teams face the threat of a relegation play-off.
The 2026/27 edition is the first under UEFA’s reshaped international calendar, which merges what used to be separate September and October windows into one four-match block. That is why Matchdays 1 to 4 all fall between 24 September and 6 October, with the remaining two matchdays in November. Nations League results also feed the qualifying pathway for UEFA’s major tournaments.
