The 2024–25 UEFA Nations League B was the second 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 B consisted of 16 UEFA members ranked from 17–32 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 A, and the fourth-placed team of each group will be relegated to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League C. In addition, the second-placed and third-placed teams of each group will advance to the play-offs, taking place home-and-away over two-legs in March 2025. The League B second-placed teams will participate in promotion play-offs against the third-placed teams from League A, while the League B second-placed teams will participate in relegation play-offs against the third-placed teams from League C. 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.
