Buy Nations League semi-final tickets for 2027 and you are buying the two matches that decide who plays on 13 June. The semi-finals fall on Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 June 2027, on consecutive nights at two different stadiums, and they are the first two matches of a five-day finals tournament contested by just four nations. Both are single matches with no second leg.

There is a practical reason these are the more sensible tickets to chase. If your nation wins its quarter-final in March, you know with certainty that it plays a semi-final. You do not know that it reaches the final. Anyone buying for the final specifically is betting on an outcome that is not settled until 10 June, whereas a semi-final ticket is a confirmed fixture for a confirmed team. Spain supporters who travelled to Stuttgart in June 2025 knew exactly what they were buying weeks in advance.
This guide covers the confirmed dates, how the open draw sets the pairings, why the host nation always plays first, how the two venues are priced differently, what happens to the losing semi-finalists and how to complete a purchase. Venue and seating detail is added here as soon as UEFA confirms the host.
The two matches sit at the front of the finals tournament, three days before the third-place play-off and the final. Kick-off times are confirmed with the venue announcement and have recently been evening slots at 21:00 local.
| Match | Date | Venue | Who Plays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-final 1 | Wednesday 9 June 2027 | Typically the larger of the two grounds | The host nation if it has qualified, plus one drawn opponent |
| Semi-final 2 | Thursday 10 June 2027 | The second host venue | The remaining two qualified nations |
| Third-place play-off | Sunday 13 June 2027 | Usually the second venue | Both losing semi-finalists |
| Final | Sunday 13 June 2027 | Usually the larger ground | Both winning semi-finalists |
Note what that structure means for a semi-final buyer. Whichever nation you follow, if it loses on 9 or 10 June it still plays again on 13 June. A semi-final ticket is never the last match of your team's tournament, which is not true of a knockout tie in any other competition.
Four nations reach this tournament and all four play a semi-final. Only two play the final. That ratio is the entire argument, and it explains why supporters who follow a national team rather than a fixture consistently buy at this stage rather than waiting.
The timing reinforces it. Quarter-finals finish on 30 March 2027, the host is confirmed shortly after and the draw follows. From that point you know your nation's date, its city and, once the draw is made, its opponent. Every one of those variables stays unknown for a final ticket until three days before kick-off.
There is a cost argument too. The second venue has been priced below the primary one at recent editions across every category, so a semi-final at the smaller ground has consistently been the lowest-priced way into this tournament. If your priority is being present rather than being present at the final specifically, that is where the value sits.
The counterargument is honest and worth stating. A semi-final is not the trophy match, the atmosphere is a step below and if your nation goes on to win the tournament you will have watched the wrong game. Buyers who want the moment rather than the fixture should wait, accept the compressed window and target 13 June instead.
Pairings are set by an open draw rather than by a bracket fixed in advance. There is no seeding at this stage and no restriction based on which group a nation came from, so any of the four qualifiers can meet any other. That is different from the quarter-finals in March, where group winners are seeded and teams from the same group cannot be drawn together.
One rule shapes everything. If the host nation has qualified, it is allocated to semi-final 1 on 9 June as the administrative home team. That fixes the date for the host and its supporters before the draw settles anything else, and it means the 9 June match is the one with a partisan home crowd while 10 June is closer to neutral.
For a buyer, the sequence matters. Once the host is announced you know the two cities and the two dates. Once the draw is made you know the four pairings and can decide which match you want. Listings for both semi-finals appear across that period, and the 9 June fixture involving the host has consistently been the tighter of the two.
The draw also determines something buyers frequently overlook: which nation is nominally the home team in each match. That designation carries no sporting advantage at a neutral tournament, but it decides which end of the ground each supporter allocation occupies and which team appears first in the fixture listing. If you are buying a seat close to a particular allocation, check the listing against the confirmed fixture rather than assuming the ordering.
UEFA uses two stadiums across one or two host cities. The larger ground stages semi-final 1 and the final; the second stages semi-final 2 and the third-place play-off. That split creates a consistent price gap that is worth planning around, because the two matches are sporting equals.
The 2025 edition in Germany is the clearest recent example, and the published face values below show exactly how the two semi-finals were separated.
| Match (2025 edition) | Venue | Fans First | Category 2 | Category 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-final 1, Germany vs Portugal | Munich | €30 | €75 | €150 |
| Semi-final 2, Spain vs France | Stuttgart | €30 | €60 | €100 |
The gap is a third at Category 1 and a fifth at Category 2, for two matches of identical competitive weight played twenty-four hours apart. The entry band was held at the same rate for both, and accessible seating was priced at that entry rate with a complimentary companion ticket.
Whether that gap holds in 2027 depends on how different the two chosen grounds are in size and profile. Where a host has used two stadiums of comparable capacity the spread narrows; where the primary venue is materially larger it widens. Either way the direction has been consistent across editions, so if price is the deciding factor, start with the 10 June match and only move to 9 June if the fixture itself matters more than the cost.
No 2027 face values exist yet because UEFA publishes them only after the host is confirmed. Resale behaves separately from face value in any case, and the strongest single driver is which two nations are drawn into each match. Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
This is the statistic most likely to change how you plan. Across four editions of the finals tournament, the host nation has been eliminated at the semi-final stage three times.
| Edition | Host | Host's Semi-Final Result | Champions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Portugal | Won, went on to lift the trophy | Portugal |
| 2021 | Italy | Lost | France |
| 2023 | Netherlands | Lost | Spain |
| 2025 | Germany | Lost, finished fourth | Portugal |
Only Portugal in 2019 have hosted and reached the final. For anyone following the host nation, the implication is uncomfortable but useful: on the record so far, the semi-final on 9 June is more likely to be your team's biggest match of the tournament than a stepping stone to 13 June.
It also explains a recurring pattern in the resale market. Supporters of the host nation buy for the final in large numbers on the assumption of progress, then release those seats in the forty-eight hours after the semi-finals. That release is the main source of late final supply, and it originates directly from the semi-final result.
Only the sixteen nations in League A are eligible. Each plays six league phase matches between 24 September and 17 November 2026, the top two in each group go through to two-legged quarter-finals in March, and the four winners reach the semi-finals.
Two of the four semi-finalists in 2025 came from the same original group, which is possible because the quarter-final draw only prevents same-group ties, not same-group qualification. Six of the sixteen nations have never reached a finals tournament, and a first appearance by one of them would reshape the ticket market for whichever semi-final they land in.
The groups are not evenly weighted, and that matters for anyone trying to guess early. Group 3 contains three nations with finals experience and only two can go through to March. Group 4 pairs the holders with three sides who have never reached this stage. A buyer working out which semi-final to target is really working out which groups produce the largest travelling supports, and on the current draw that points to groups 1 and 3 rather than 2 and 4.
Because the two matches fall on consecutive nights at two venues, attending both is realistic in a way it is not at a longer tournament. Whether it is practical depends on how far apart the host cities are, which is unknown until the announcement.
Recent editions have used cities within a few hours of each other by rail, and in some cases the host has staged both matches in a single city. If that happens in 2027, a two-match trip becomes a single hotel booking and two short journeys, which is the least expensive way to see half the tournament.
The planning risk is the return leg. If you attend semi-final 2 on the evening of 10 June, you are then three days from the final with no way of knowing until that night whether the fixture you would want to stay for involves your team. Book accommodation through 13 June with a cancellation option rather than committing either way.
There is a lower-cost version of the same trip. Rather than attending both semi-finals, attend one semi-final and the third-place play-off on 13 June. Both losing semi-finalists play in that match, so if your nation is eliminated on 9 or 10 June you still see it again, and the third-place fixture has consistently carried the lower of the two price bands alongside the second semi-final. It also removes the uncertainty entirely: you know before you travel that you have two confirmed matches rather than one confirmed and one contingent.
Weigh that against what you give up. The third-place play-off is the one match at this tournament with nothing at stake beyond pride, and crowds for it have been the smallest of the four. If atmosphere is what you are travelling for, two semi-finals will deliver more of it than a semi-final and a consolation match, even at the higher combined price.
The most recent edition is the closest thing to a model for what to expect. Germany faced Portugal in Munich on 4 June and Spain faced France in Stuttgart on 5 June, which put four of Europe's largest supports into two grounds on consecutive nights. Portugal and Spain went through, and the two eliminated nations met three days later.
The attendance pattern is the useful part. Across all four matches the tournament drew 234,712 at an average of 58,678, with 65,852 present for the final. That leaves the three non-final fixtures averaging roughly 56,000 between them, so a semi-final at this tournament fills a large stadium to a level not far short of the final itself. The atmosphere gap between the two stages is smaller than the price gap suggests.
Two cautions before reading too much into it. That edition paired the host with a former champion in the first semi-final, which is the combination that produces the highest demand, and both venues had staged matches at a major tournament the previous summer. A 2027 host with smaller grounds or a first-time qualifier in one of the ties would produce a different market, and neither can be ruled out before the quarter-finals.
Both competing nations receive designated blocks, distributed through their national associations to registered supporters. Those allocations sit behind the goals at most venues UEFA uses, with the sides of the ground sold to the general public and to neutral buyers.
| Buyer Type | Typical Position | How Access Works |
|---|---|---|
| Supporters of the two competing nations | Allocated blocks behind each goal | First sales phase through the national association |
| Host nation supporters (semi-final 1) | Largest single allocation in the ground | Home association distribution, heavily oversubscribed |
| General public | Sides of the ground, all three categories | Second sales phase after the supporter window closes |
| Neutral and resale buyers | Mixed areas outside the allocated blocks | Resale listings released by supporters unable to travel |
Practical point for neutrals: do not wear either nation's colours if your seat falls between the two allocated blocks, and expect segregation to be enforced at the entry points rather than inside the concourse. Supporters of the participating nations and the general public receive 90 percent of the tickets between them, with the balance going to sponsors, associations and hospitality.
The short lead time from quarter-final to tournament makes delivery method more consequential here than at a fixture confirmed months ahead. Read the listing notes before purchase and check the route against your travel dates.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | Which app or wallet the transfer arrives in, and whether an account is needed in advance |
| Instant download | That the file is available immediately, which matters if you buy after the draw is made |
| Courier delivery | The dispatch date against your departure date, since the window here is weeks rather than months |
| Collection in the host city | The collection point and opening hours against your arrival, particularly for the 9 June match |
Bring photo identification. International fixtures apply tighter entry checks than club football and identification is requested at collection points and hospitality entrances. Charge your phone before travelling, since digital entry is standard at every stadium UEFA uses for this tournament.
Step1
Find the fixture
Search for the semi-final you want. Listings build from late March once the four qualified nations are known, then again once the draw sets the pairings.

Step6
Track your order
Follow delivery status and manage your booking through track order. Digital tickets arrive ahead of the match.
The same errors recur at every edition, and all of them come from treating this tournament like a club knockout.
Travelling for a semi-final is easier to plan than travelling for the final, because the fixture is fixed once the draw is made rather than three days before kick-off. You still do not know the host city until roughly ten weeks out, so book flexible transport and accommodation in the interim.
If you are following a specific nation, buy for its semi-final and treat any further match as a separate decision made on the night. On delivery, instant download and mobile transfer are the most reliable routes from abroad, since a courier parcel risks arriving after departure. For groups wanting to sit together, buy as soon as the draw is made, because consecutive seats in a small allocation disappear first.
The two winners meet in the final on Sunday 13 June 2027 and the two losers contest the third-place play-off earlier the same day, usually at the second venue. Every nation that reaches this tournament therefore plays twice, and every semi-final ticket guarantees you a team with another fixture to come.
If your semi-final ends in your nation's favour, the window to secure a place at the trophy match is three days and the supply is at its thinnest of the whole tournament. Details, pricing and the allocation structure for that match sit on the Nations League final tickets page, and it is worth reading before the semi-finals rather than after them.
These are the league phase matches most likely to determine which nations reach March and, from there, June. Demand for the semi-finals traces directly back to how these are decided.
They are played on Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 June 2027, on consecutive nights at two different stadiums.
No. The tournament uses two grounds, with semi-final 1 at the larger venue and semi-final 2 at the second, though both can sit in the same host city.
UEFA has not published 2027 face values. At the 2025 edition the two semi-finals ran €30 to €150 in Munich and €30 to €100 in Stuttgart.
Semi-final 1 is staged at the larger venue and features the host nation where it has qualified, so UEFA prices it alongside the final rather than alongside the second semi-final.
Yes. They fall on consecutive evenings and recent editions have used cities within a few hours of each other, sometimes staging both in one city.
By open draw with no seeding and no restriction on which group a nation came from, so any of the four qualifiers can be paired with any other.
For scheduling reasons the host, where it has qualified, is allocated to the 9 June match as administrative home team, which fixes its date before the draw settles the pairings.
They meet in the third-place play-off on 13 June 2027, so a semi-final ticket never means watching your nation's last match of the tournament.
Once, in 2019, when Portugal hosted and won. Italy, the Netherlands and Germany were all eliminated in their home semi-final in the three editions since.
Germany faced Portugal in Munich on 4 June and Spain faced France in Stuttgart on 5 June, with Portugal and Spain going through to the final.
Only the sixteen League A nations, and specifically the four that win the two-legged quarter-finals played between 25 and 30 March 2027.
After the open draw, which follows the quarter-finals and the host announcement, giving roughly ten weeks of notice before the matches themselves.
Yes. These are single matches with no second leg, so a level score goes to extra time and then penalties.
Generally yes, because there are two of them rather than one, the fixture is confirmed weeks earlier and the second venue carries a lower price band.
Both competing nations receive designated blocks behind the goals, distributed by their national associations, with the sides of the ground sold to the general public.
Carry photo identification. International fixtures apply tighter checks than club football, and it is requested at collection points and hospitality entrances.
Not meaningfully, because neither the venue nor the participating nations exist until the March ties are settled, so listings only build from late March onwards.
No. Each match is ticketed separately, though multi-match hospitality packages covering more than one fixture have been offered at recent editions.
It depends on the venue, but supporters of the two nations and the general public receive 90 percent of the ground between them, with the balance to sponsors and hospitality.
Transport detail is confirmed with the venue announcement, though UEFA favours grounds used at recent major tournaments, which come with established matchday transport arrangements.
