UEFA Nations League 2018-19 Fixtures, Bracket, Live Stream, Odds and Prize Money
September 5, 2018
The 2018-19 UEFA Nations League begins on Thursday with a host of top teams in action, including FIFA World Cup winners France who face Germany.
The competition was created to replace meaningless friendlies and inject more interest in international football.
The format consists of four leagues, and teams are seeded according to their UEFA coefficient ranking.
The top-ranked teams are in League A, and the lowest-seeded nations in League D. Each league contains four groups of three teams, and the draw in full is shown below:
Teams play each other home and away in the first round of group fixtures during the international breaks in September, October and November.
The teams that finish top of their groups are promoted, and the teams finishing bottom are relegated.
The four teams who win their League A groups progress to the finals, which are scheduled to take place in June 2019. There will be two semi-finals, a third-place play-off and a final to decide the UEFA Nations League winners.
UEFA has a total prize fund of €76.25 million (£68.6 million) available for the new tournament. The winners will earn €7.5 million (£6.7 million), according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).
The top teams in League A will all receive €1.5 million (£1.3 million). Group winners will receive another €1.5 million (£1.3 million), and the tournament winners are set to pocket another €4.5 million (£4 million), per the report.
Here's a look at the latest betting odds for the tournament:

The tournament kicks off in some style with France's clash against Germany being the standout tie on Thursday at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Les Bleus will be in action for the first time since lifting the World Cup in July, while Die Mannschaft will be keen to restore some pride after a poor showing in Russia where they failed to get past the group stage.
There will be plenty of scrutiny on Germany after a difficult summer which has seen Mesut Ozil retire from international football due to feelings of "racism and disrespect," per Tom Bryant at the Guardian.
Manager Joachim Low has said the Arsenal star's "claims of racism are exaggerated" and that "there has not been not even a hint of racism," per BBC Sport.
Low has recalled Leroy Sane after controversially leaving the Manchester City star out of his World Cup squad:
Germany have plenty of players who will be keen to make amends after flopping at the World Cup.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's tournament ended on a sour note after being caught upfield against South Korea, allowing Heung-min Son to score the second goal in a 2-0 defeat.
Thomas Muller failed to score in three appearances in Russia, while Joshua Kimmich and Jerome Boateng were also far from their best.
Die Mannschaft face a tough test against a France side high on confidence and packed with talent.
They will need to pay particular attention to star striker Kylian Mbappe, who has four goals and two assists in three appearances for Paris Saint-Germain this season.
Manager Didier Deschamps has made just two changes to his World Cup-winning squad. Benoit Costil has replaced Steve Mandanda, while Montpellier's Benjamin Lecomte comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris.
France replaced Germany as world champions with their win in Russia, and this match will be a good indicator of where Low's side are—and how much work is needed to get back on track.
