Germany and the Netherlands renew a long-running rivalry on 16 November 2026, when they meet in a UEFA Nations League Group B fixture. The Netherlands lead UEFA Nations League Group B unbeaten on 11 points from five matches, while Germany sit third of four on 8 points from the same number of games — a three-point gap with the sides level on matches played. The head-to-head record leans Germany’s way; the current form guide reads rather differently.
