Starting with the 2028/29 season, the Nations League will be divided into three leagues instead of the current four. In each of the divisions A, B, C will be formed by three groups of six teams. In the first round, each team will hold six matches, and not only with representatives of their group, but also with squads from other bullets.

In the season 2026/27, the national team of Belarus will play in group 1 of League C. In the first round on September 26, our players will play in Tirana with the Albanians, and on the second game day, September 29, they will meet in Helsinki with the Finns. In the first nominally home match on October 3, the Belarusians will host the San Marino team in Budapest.
