The 55 European nations have been arranged into four tiers based on their ranking - the top 12, the next 12 etc - with each tier split into four leagues of three or four teams.

...

The sides in each group will play home and away in a 10-week period between September and November of this year, with the team finishing top of each section being promoted to a higher tier and the nation finishing bottom dropping down one.

Iin a final flourish, the four nations who win the groups in the top tier will advance to a knockout finals next June to decide the Nations League winner.

Ties into Euro qualifying as well

The actual qualification process for Euro 2020 has been simplified, with the top two nations in the 10 groups claiming a place in the finals.

The seedings will be determined by how teams performed in the preceding Nations League and the 10 fixtures will be wedged into an eight-month window from March-November 2019.

However, that leaves four places at the finals - which will be held in 12 host cities around the continent - still to be filled.

The four group winners in each tier will then play-off in March for a first crack at claiming one of those four vacant spots.

Should a nation already have qualified, their place will go to the next highest-ranked team from their Nations League tier. However, that will not necessarily be the runners-up in their group.
