The 2026–27 UEFA Nations League B league phase begins later this month, with four groups of four teams each competing in a home-and-away format across September–October and November windows. Group winners earn direct promotion to League A for 2028–29, while runners-up advance to promotion/relegation play-offs. The draw, held in February 2026, placed several stronger sides—including Scotland, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Israel, and Austria—into competitive groups against promoted and relegated nations from the 2024–25 cycle. Trader consensus reflects historical performance, current FIFA rankings, squad depth, and recent international results, with these teams favored due to superior recent form and depth ahead of the opening matchdays. No games have been played yet, so early odds movements will hinge on confirmed lineups and any pre-window injury updates.
