Which group is Sweden playing in?
Sweden sits in Division B, Group 4 alongside Poland, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Romania. The group winner moves up to Division A, while the bottom side faces relegation to Division C. The top two also earn promotion‑play‑offs next spring.
When are the upcoming fixtures?
After the opener versus Romania, Poland meets Bosnia & Herzegovina on September 25, followed by Romania‑Bosnia & Herzegovina on September 28. Sweden then faces Poland on September 28 and Bosnia & Herzegovina on October 2. The final group match against Poland is scheduled for November 17 2026.
How can Nations League affect World Cup qualification?
Euro 2028 can serve as an alternate route to the 2026 World Cup if a team fails in the Euro qualifiers. The best Nations League winners not already qualified receive a playoff slot, meaning Sweden’s group performance could provide an extra lifeline to the World Cup, especially if they top the group.
