Germany Drawn Against Netherlands, Serbia, and Greece in 2026 UEFA Nations League Group

Germany’s national football team, led by coach Julian Nagelsmann, will face the Netherlands, Serbia, and Greece in Group 2 of League A in the 2026 UEFA Nations League. The group stage matches are scheduled between September 24 and November 17, 2026, with the first matchday on September 26, 2026. The final of the Nations League is set for June 13, 2027.

Nagelsmann expressed enthusiasm about the recurring match-up with the Netherlands, recalling Germany’s recent 1-0 victory in Munich and a 2-2 draw in Amsterdam during the last Nations League. The team will also meet Serbia for the first time since their 1-1 friendly in 2019, and anticipate exciting fixtures against Greece.

Germany aims to finish as group winners to secure a spot in the quarter-finals in March, leading to the Final Four scheduled for June 2027. Success in this tournament could benefit Germany’s qualification path for the UEFA Euro 2028, as top teams may earn advantageous positions in the playoffs.

The Nations League, launched by UEFA in 2018, has grown in prestige and competitive value, providing important high-level matches between major tournaments. Portugal is the current titleholder. The tournament’s format includes relegation for the last-place finishers in Leagues A, B, and C, and playoffs for survival involving third-place teams.

Nagelsmann highlighted the Nations League’s rising importance for both players and fans, describing the compressed schedule from September 24 to October 6, 2026, as creating a mini-tournament atmosphere. The official match schedule will be announced soon, finalizing the competitive calendar.
