???? Who could Spain face in the 2026/27 Nations League?

The Spanish national team will learn this Thursday who their opponents will be for the group stage of the UEFA Nations League 2026/27.

The draw, which will take place in Brussels at 18:00, places Luis de la Fuente's team in Pot 1 of League A. As a top seed alongside Portugal, France, and Germany, Spain avoids the major powers in this first round.

The tournament format maintains its usual rigor. The group stage will take place between September and November 2026, with six thrilling matchdays. The top two from each group in League A will advance to the quarter-finals, scheduled for March 2027, seeking a ticket to the coveted Final Four in June.

Several 'heavyweights' in the other pots

Despite being a favorite, Spain will not have an easy path. In Pot 2, teams like Italy or the Netherlands await, while Pot 3 hides dangerous "traps" such as England or Norway with Erling Haaland. Any slip-up in the draw could form a "group of death" for the national team.

This fifth edition of the Nations League will be crucial for the team's preparation. After being runners-up in the previous edition, the goal is to reclaim the European throne. 

Where to watch the draw?

The draw can be followed live through UEFA's official channels and free-to-air on RTVE. From this Thursday, the roadmap to the 2027 title will be laid out, marking the start of a new competitive cycle for the reigning European champions.
