On 2 May 2022, UEFA announced that Russia was suspended and automatically relegated from 2022–23 UEFA Nations League B due to their country's invasion of Ukraine.[3] Though they were due to participate in League C for the 2024–25 season, Russia was still suspended at the time of UEFA's entry deadline, and thus were banned from the competition.
Seeding
In the 2024–25 access list, UEFA ranked teams based on the 2022–23 Nations League overall ranking.[4] The seeding pots for the league phase were confirmed on 2 December 2023,[5] and were based on the access list ranking.[2]
