Germany Hosts Netherlands in Nations League Decider in Berlin

This match will determine whether Germany reaches the quarterfinals or falls into a position that could force relegation playoffs.

Overview

  • The game is scheduled for Monday at 20:45 CET on November 16, 2026, at Berlin’s Olympiastadion and will be broadcast live on ARD.
  • A German win guarantees a place in the Nations League quarterfinals, while defeat could leave Germany third and exposed to relegation playoff scenarios that depend on other group results.
  • Germany arrives buoyed by a 3-1 win in Belgrade and reports a fully fit squad with captain Joshua Kimmich available and Nico Schlotterbeck likely to return to central defence.
  • The Netherlands will be without midfielder Frenkie de Jong for the trip to Berlin, a confirmed absence that reduces Oranje’s midfield options after their 7-0 win over Greece.
  • Tiebreakers give extra weight to head-to-head results between Germany, the Netherlands and Greece, and any follow-up relegation play would be decided in March 2027 play-offs that affect League A/B placement.
