League B consists of the teams ranked 17th to 32nd, according to the Women’s European Qualifiers overall phase rankings (based on the Women's Euro 2025 qualifying overall ranking, taking into consideration promotion/relegation at the conclusion of that competition),[1] split into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in February, April, and May/June 2025.[2][3]
The competition will also act as the first phase of the qualifying competition for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, which will use an identical league structure. The four group winners will be promoted to League A, and the four last-placed teams, along with the two worst-ranked third-placed teams, will be relegated to League C for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition. In addition, the four runners-up and two best-ranked third-placed teams will advance to the promotion/relegation play-offs:[2][3]
- The four runners-up of League B will advance to the promotion play-offs against the four third-placed teams of League A. The winners of the home-and-away ties will enter League A for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition, while the losers will enter League B.
- The two best-ranked third-placed teams of League B will advance to the relegation play-offs against the two best-ranked runners-up of League C. The winners of the home-and-away ties will enter League B for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition, while the losers will enter League C.
Teams were allocated to League A according to the Women’s European Qualifiers overall phase rankings,[1] and were seeded into four pots of four teams based on the same ranking.[2][3]
The draw for the league phase took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on 7 November 2024 at 13:00 CET. For political reasons, Belarus and Ukraine could not be drawn in the same group.[2]
