The four winners of the League A groups will progress to the semi-finals, whilst winners in Leagues B and C groups can earn promotion into a higher league.

While the results won't affect Euro 2025, they are important as the leagues at the end of this tournament will determine positions going into the European qualifiers for the 2027 Women's World Cup.

Germany are in Group A1, with France the big name in Group A2. Group A3 is particularly eye-catching as it features European Champions England and World Cup winners and current Nations League holders Spain, as well as Belgium and Portugal, who will be tricky opponents.

On Friday, the Lionesses travel to Portugal to get their campaign underway while Spain play Belgium. France welcome Norway and the Netherlands play Germany in what is likely to be a compelling clash.

Make sure you don’t miss any of the action. Read on to get all the details of how you can watch Women's Nations League 2025 live streams, potentially for FREE, with a list of European broadcasters down below.
