The 2024 UEFA Women's Nations League Finals was the final tournament of the 2023–24 edition of the UEFA Women's Nations League, the inaugural season of the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the 55 member associations of UEFA. The tournament consisted of two semi-finals, a third place play-off, and a final to determine the inaugural champions of the UEFA Women's Nations League and the two teams that would qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside France.[2]
The Nations League Finals took place in February 2024 and were contested by the four group winners of League A.
The competition was in a knockout format, consisting of two semi-finals, a third place play-off, and a final. The semi-final pairings and the administrative home teams for the third place play-off and final were determined using an open draw on 11 December 2023.
The tournament took place over five days, with the semi-finals on 23 February, and the third place play-off and final on 28 February.
The Nations League Finals were played in single-leg knockout matches. If the scores were level at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of extra time were played, and if still level a penalty shoot-out would decide the winner.
The four group winners of League A qualified for the Nations League Finals.[3] [4]

Each national team had to submit a squad of 23 players, three of whom had to be goalkeepers, at least ten days before the opening match of the tournament. If a player became injured or ill severely enough to prevent her participation in the tournament before her team's first match, she could be replaced by another player.[2]
