The first Nations league winner for 2018/19 season will be contested between four group winners from the A league: with semifinal games, third place match and a final.
Four group winners will be automatically promoted to higher league place (D to C, C to B and B to A). In vice versa scenario, those teams who will finish bottom in their groups are going to be relegated into lower leagues (A to B, B to C and C to D).
Apart from two regular kick-off times a third is going to be introduced as optional - 15.00CET.
This new tournament can be also used as a backdoor for the European championship in 2020. Winners from each groups, those who did not qualified through the regular process, will have their last chance to be at the complicated EURO event in two years time. Depending on how many teams there will be, play off games against each other is going to be at the end of March 2020.
Nations league is going to be played in every two year cycle.
