The 16 League B teams were ranked 17th to 32nd overall in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League according to the following rules:{{cite magazine |url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0275-150fe5fe80f8-58d677996bf0-1000/20220502_circular_2022_21_en.zip |title=UEFA Executive Committee decisions on the impact and consequences resulting from the ongoing suspension of Russian representative teams and clubs in UEFA competitions and other matters |number=21/2022 |magazine=UEFA Circular Letter |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=2 May 2022 |access-date=28 September 2022}}{{cite web |url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0279-1636ce1f2295-f77616bdffaa-1000/un.pdf.pdf |title=Overall ranking of the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=27 September 2022 |access-date=28 September 2022}}
- The teams finishing first in the groups were ranked 17th to 20th according to the results of the league phase.
- The teams finishing second in the groups were ranked 21st to 24th according to the results of the league phase
- The teams finishing third in the groups were ranked 25th to 28th according to the results of the league phase.
- The teams finishing fourth in Groups 1, 3, and 4 were ranked 29th to 31st according to the results of the league phase.
- Russia, disqualified from the competition and automatically ranked fourth in their group, was ranked 32nd. Because the members of group 2 played two fewer matches as a result, teams finishing first, second, and third in groups 1, 3, and 4 had their match results vs. the fourth place team in their groups discarded for the ranking.
