The 2024–25 UEFA Nations League D is 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 consists 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 will play four matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin on double matchdays in September, October, and November 2024. The winners of both groups will be automatically promoted to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League C. In addition, the second-placed team of both groups will advance to the promotion play-offs against the two best-ranked fourth-placed teams from League C home-and-away over two legs on March 26 and 31 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.

As Russia were banned from participation in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League due to their country's invasion of Ukraine, 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.
