The Republic of Ireland will face world champions Spain in the 2027 Nations League, while Northern Ireland take on Poland in League B.

Poland, who face the Republic of Ireland in a Women's World Cup play-off later in November, join Northern Ireland, Finland and Belarus in League B3.

Carla Ward's Republic of Ireland side have been tasked with a difficult group in League A against Nations League holders Spain, Norway and Switzerland.

Fixtures have yet to be confirmed by Uefa, but the Nations League will be played across the international windows in February/March, April and June.

The Republic of Ireland have been handed one of the most difficult draws available as they look to retain their place in League A.

Spain, who won the 2024 and 2025 editions of the Nations League, are the headline team but Norway and Switzerland are also difficult opponents.

The Nations League will have a direct bearing on qualifying for the next Women's Euros in Germany in 2029.

The winner in League A will progress to the Nations League finals in October, while the bottom side in each group will be relegated to League B.

Each third-placed side in League A will face a relegation/promotion play-off against a second-placed League B side.
