The 2024–25 UEFA Nations League D was the fourth and lowest division of the 2024–25 edition of the UEFA Nations League, the fourth season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 55 member associations of UEFA.

Format

League D consisted of the six lowest-ranked UEFA members from 49–54 in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League access list, split into two groups of three. Each team played four matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin on double matchdays in September, October, and November 2024.{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefanationsleague/news/0288-19a14a0f77d0-8b88a4fd8106-1000/ |title=2024/25 UEFA Nations League: All you need to know |website=UEFA |date=30 January 2024 |access-date=8 February 2024}} The winners of both groups were automatically promoted to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League C. In addition, the second-placed team of both groups advanced to the promotion play-offs against the two best-ranked fourth-placed teams from League C, to play home-and-away over two legs in March 2026, with the League C teams hosting the second leg. The winner of the tie will participate in the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League C, while the losers will enter League D.{{cite web |url=https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-Nations-League-2024/25-Online |title=Regulations of the UEFA Nations League, 2024/25 |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |format=PDF |date=11 December 2023 |access-date=8 February 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240208090253/https://documents.uefa.com/api/khub/maps/otUcsEb2itzXUnw8dos1iQ/attachments/_cm94sGUOEarkSBFBeLppg/content |archive-date=8 February 2024}}

As Russia were banned from participation in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League due to their country's invasion of Ukraine,{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0275-150c9887cacb-882c686f407f-1000/ |title=UEFA decisions for upcoming competitions relating to the ongoing suspension of Russian national teams and clubs |publisher=UEFA |date=2 May 2022 |access-date=2 May 2022}} the size of the competition was reduced from 55 to 54 teams. Therefore, as the lowest division, League D was reduced from seven to six teams for the 2024–25 season.
