League C consists of 19 UEFA members ranked 33rd to 51st among competition entrants in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League ranking, split into four groups of four (Groups 1 to 4) and one group of three (Group 5). Each team played six matches (in four-team groups) or four matches (in three-team group) within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in April, May to June, and July 2024.[1]
After the league phase, the five group winners and the three best group runners-up advanced to the play-offs to determine who qualifies for the final tournament.[2] For the first play-off round the eight League C teams were unseeded, and drawn against the eight lowest-ranked teams in League A. The winner of those ties will advance to the second round.[1][2]
The competition also acted as the first phase for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League, which will use an identical league structure. The five group winners were promoted to League B.[1][2]
Teams were allocated to League C after the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Nations League promotion/relegation matches on 27 February 2024. Teams were split into three pots of five teams and one pot of four teams, ordered based on their overall ranking.[2][3]
