# 2024–25 UEFA Nations League C

The 2024–25 UEFA Nations League C is the third division of the 2024–25 edition of the UEFA Nations League, the fourth season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 55 member associations of UEFA.

## Format

League C consists of 16 UEFA members ranked from 33–48 in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League access list, split into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format on double matchdays in September, October, and November 2024. The winners of each group will be promoted to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League B, and the two worst-ranked fourth-placed teams will be relegated to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League D. In addition, the second-placed teams of each group and the two best-ranked fourth-placed teams, will advance to the promotion/relegation play-offs, played home-and-away over two legs. The League C second-placed teams will participate in promotion play-offs against the third-placed teams from League B in March 2025, while the two best-ranked League C fourth-placed teams will participate in relegation play-offs against the second-placed teams from League D in March 2026. In the play-offs, teams from the higher leagues will host the second leg, with the winners of each tie participating in the higher league for the next Nations League season, while the losers will enter the lower league.

## Teams
### Team changes

The following are the team changes in League C from the 2022–23 season:
Incoming :
| Relegated from Nations League B | Promoted from Nations League D |
| Armenia  Romania  Sweden | Estonia  Latvia |
Outgoing :
| Promoted to Nations League B | Relegated to Nations League D |
| Georgia  Greece  Kazakhstan  Turkey | Gibraltar |
On 2 May 2022, Russia were suspended and automatically relegated from League B due to their country's invasion of Ukraine. Russia were due to participate in League C for the 2024–25 season, but they were instead banned from the Nations League because the suspension was still active at the time of UEFA's entry deadline. Therefore, only one team (Gibraltar) was relegated to League D and two teams (Estonia and Latvia) were promoted from League D, so that the 2024–25 League C season would still have 16 teams.

### Seeding

In the 2024–25 access list, UEFA ranked teams based on the 2022–23 Nations League overall ranking. The seeding pots for the league phase were confirmed on 2 December 2023, and were based on the access list ranking.
Pot 1 :
| Pot 1 Team Rank  Romania 33  Sweden 34  Armenia 35  Luxembourg 36 | Pot 2 Team Rank  Azerbaijan 37  Kosovo 38  Bulgaria 39  Faroe Islands 40 | Pot 3 Team Rank  North Macedonia 41  Slovakia 42  Northern Ireland 43  Cyprus 44 | Pot 4 Team Rank  Belarus 45  Lithuania 46  Estonia 47  Latvia 48 |
* ↑ The identity of the play-out winners was not known at the time of the draw.
The draw for the league phase took place at the Maison de la Mutualité in Paris, France, on 8 February 2024, 18:00 CET. Each group contained one team from each pot. For political reasons, Armenia and Azerbaijan (due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict) could not be drawn in the same group.
