2023 UEFA Nations League finals: How to watch on TV and live stream
Well, it might not be a World Cup or a European Championship, but it's something.
Following a jam-packed 2022/23 schedule, the vast majority of players competing in Europe's top divisions will earn some much-needed respite, but for some, more competitive action is heading their way.
The third instalment of the UEFA Nations League is set to conclude this month with the finals taking place across four days. The absence of Portugal and France from this year's final four mean we'll have a new name on the trophy once the final concludes in Rotterdam on 18 June.
This is certainly not a summer festival of football, but it's more high-level action for fanatics to enjoy ahead of the start of pre-season in July.
Here's how you can watch the upcoming UEFA Nations League finals.
Who's competing in the 2023 UEFA Nations League finals?
The 2022/23 Nations League group phase took place between June and September 2022, with the four group winners from League A progressing into the finals, which will take place in the Netherlands.
The hosts advanced to the finals from A4 following an impressive campaign, and they'll take on Croatia in the first semi-final. The 2022 World Cup semi-finalists edged out Denmark and France to qualify for the finals.
In the other semi, A2 winners Spain will face A3 victors Italy. Spain were beaten by France in the final of the 2020/21 Nations League after beating the Azzurri in the last four.
