The promotion/relegation matches determined the composition of the leagues for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying, which used an identical league structure to the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League. The matches were played home-and-away over two legs. If the team from the higher league was the winner, both teams would remain in their respective leagues, whereas if the team from the lower league won, they would be promoted to the higher league, with the losers relegated to the lower league.
The third-placed teams of League A played the runners-up of League B, while the three best-ranked third-placed teams in League B played the three best-ranked League C runners-up.[1] The teams from the higher leagues were seeded, and played the second leg at home. In the two-legged ties, the team that scored more goals on aggregate was the winner. If the aggregate score was level, extra time was played (the away goals rule was not applied). If the score remained level after extra time, a penalty shoot-out was used to decide the winner.[2]
The draws for the promotion/relegation matches (for League A vs League B and League B vs League C) were held on 11 December 2023, 13:00 CET, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. They were held in tandem with the draw for the 2024 UEFA Women's Nations League Finals. In the draws, the teams from the higher leagues were seeded, while the teams from the lower leagues were unseeded. First a team was drawn from the unseeded pot, with their opponents then drawn from the seeded pot.[3]
