How can I watch Nations League online?

Nations League is the name of a brand new concept in the European football world. Instead of playing friendly matches, a new league system has been made, in which nations play against one another, and the winner of the different leagues will automatically qualify for the European Championship in 2020.

I truly like the Nations League concept, as it gives the nations something to fight for, even when there isn’t an active qualification for a World Cup or European Championship going on. Starting on September 6th, the nations of Europe have been divided into different leagues (based on their FIFA ranking), and they will play against teams ranked quite similar to their own. The winners of the different groups will qualify for the knockout stage (starting with semi-finals), and the winner of the final will automatically qualify for the European championship in 2020.
