The 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League promotion/relegation matches were the promotion and relegation play-offs of the 2025 edition of the UEFA Women's Nations League, the second season of the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA. The play-offs determined which teams were promoted, relegated, or remained in their respective leagues for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying competition.

Format The promotion/relegation matches determined the final composition of the leagues for 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification, which used an identical league structure to the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League. The matches were played home-and-away over two legs. If the team from the higher league was the winner, both teams remained in their respective leagues, whereas if the team from the lower league won, they were promoted to the higher league, with the losers relegated to the lower league.

The four third-placed teams of League A played the four runners-up of League B, while the two best-ranked third-placed teams in League B played the two best-ranked League C runners-up. The teams from the higher leagues were seeded, and played the second leg at home. In the two-legged ties, the team that scored more goals on aggregate was the winner. If the aggregate score was level, extra time would be played (the away goals rule did not apply). If the score remained level after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be used to decide the winner.

Draw The draw for the promotion/relegation matches were held on 6 June 2025 in Nyon, Switzerland. They were held in tandem with the draw for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League Finals. In the draws, the teams from the higher leagues were seeded, while the teams from the lower leagues were unseeded. Seeded teams played the second leg of their ties at home. First a team was drawn from the unseeded pot, with their opponents then drawn from the seeded pot.
