The 2018–19 UEFA Nations League C was the third division of the 2018–19 edition of the UEFA Nations League, the inaugural season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 55 member associations of UEFA.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0253-0d7f508f2f07-50b5c70c1601-1000--uefa-nations-league-receives-green-light/ |title=UEFA Nations League receives associations' green light |publisher=UEFA |date=27 March 2014}}
Format
League C consisted of 15 UEFA members ranked from 25 to 39, which were split into four groups (one group of three and three groups of four). The top two teams of each group were promoted to the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League B, and the bottom four ranked teams were initially relegated to the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League D (the bottom teams of Group 2, 3, and 4, along with the lowest ranked third-placed team of League C).{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/50/54/37/2505437_DOWNLOAD.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013011024/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/50/54/37/2505437_DOWNLOAD.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 October 2017 |title=Regulations of the UEFA Nations League 2018/19 |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=28 September 2017 |access-date=3 October 2017 }} However, following UEFA announcement of format changes for the next edition's groups in September 2019, none of the 2018–19 League C teams were relegated to League D.{{cite news|date=24 September 2019|title=Format change for 2020/21 UEFA Nations League|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0255-0e99f578e557-a64ea0ed91c9-1000--format-change-for-2020-21-uefa-nations-league/|access-date=24 September 2019}}
In addition, League C was allocated one of the four remaining UEFA Euro 2020 places.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0253-0d7f90efb5e7-e8e679597638-1000--uefa-nations-league-format-approved/ |title=UEFA Nations League format and schedule approved |publisher=UEFA |date=4 December 2014}}{{cite web|date=4 December 2014|title=UEFA Nations League format and schedule confirmed|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0253-0d7fc7c2817e-5938d745b7d6-1000--uefa-nations-league-format-and-schedule-confirmed/|publisher=UEFA}} The play-off berths were first allocated to each Nations League group winner, and if any of the group winners had already qualified for the European Championship finals, then to the next best-ranked team of the league, etc. As Finland already qualified for the European Championship finals through regular qualifiers and 11 teams in League A did the same, the seven best-ranked teams from League C competed in the play-offs, played in October and November 2020.
=Seeding=
Teams were allocated to League C according to their UEFA national team coefficients after the conclusion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying group stage on 11 October 2017. Teams were split into four pots (three pots of four teams and one pot of the three lowest teams), ordered based on their UEFA national team coefficient.{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefanationsleague/news/0253-0d81c31fb062-834649881472-1000--confirmed-how-the-uefa-nations-league-will-line-up/ |title=Confirmed: How the UEFA Nations League will line up |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=11 October 2017 |access-date=11 October 2017}}{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/50/91/84/2509184_DOWNLOAD.pdf |title=National Team Coefficients Overview |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=11 October 2017 |access-date=11 October 2017}} The group with three teams contained teams only from pots 1, 2, and 3.
