UEFA Nations League Payouts Revealed for Participating Teams

The UEFA Nations League kicks off this Thursday, with the Israeli national team competing in League B, Group 2 alongside Ireland, Austria, and Kosovo. Simply participating in the tournament guarantees a payout of 1.5 million euros, with the potential to double this amount by finishing at the top of their group. Unlike club competitions, there are no prize monies awarded for individual wins or draws in the Nations League.

Across all four leagues, the total prize money distributed amounts to between 80 and 90 million euros. Teams in League A can earn up to 4.5 million euros, while participants in League C can receive up to 2.25 million euros, and League D teams can get 1.5 million euros.

The exact number of playoff spots available for the Nations League teams in the Euro 2028 qualifiers remains uncertain due to the high number of host nations for that tournament. However, strong performances in the Nations League are expected to correlate with improved chances of qualifying for the European Championship playoffs. The top two teams from each group will directly qualify for the next European Championship.
