Format

League B consisted of 16 UEFA members ranked 17th to 32nd among competition entrants in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League ranking, split into four groups of four. Each team played six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in April, May to June, and July 2024. After the league phase, the best-ranked League B teams advanced to the play-offs to determine who qualifies for the final tournament. The group winners, runners-up and third-placed teams in League B (except Switzerland) advanced to the first round (i.e. the twelve best-ranked teams). The six higher-ranked of those teams were seeded and drawn into ties against the six lower-ranked teams. The six winners progress to the next round. Switzerland are guaranteed a spot in the final tournament as hosts, and therefore will not participate in the play-offs. Since they finished in the top three places in their group, the best-ranked fourth-placed team (i.e. the team ranked 13th in League B) also qualified for the first round. The competition also acted as the first phase for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League, which will use an identical league structure. The winners of each group were promoted to League A, while the fourth-placed team from each group and the worst-ranked third placed team was relegated to League C.


Seeding

Teams were allocated to League B after the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Nations League promotion/relegation matches on 28 February 2024. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their overall ranking. The draw took place in

Qualification for play-offs

The winners, runners-up, and third-placed teams in each group advanced to the play-offs (excluding Switzerland who qualified automatically as hosts). Since Switzerland finished in the top three places in their group, the best-ranked fourth-placed team also advanced to the play-offs. This means that the twelve best-ranked League B teams excluding Switzerland advanced to the first round. The six higher-ranked teams were seeded, and drawn against the six lower-ranked teams. The winner of those ties will advance to the second round.


Ranking of third-placed teams

The lowest-ranked third-placed team was relegated to League C for the 2025 Women's Nations League, along with the four last-placed teams.
