Market values correct as of September 20, 2026, based on the latest available Transfermarkt data.
France sit at the top of the rankings with a squad valued at €1.52bn, putting them comfortably ahead of England and Spain.
Les Bleus' huge valuation is driven by a host of world-class players, with Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and William Saliba among the most valuable members of Zinedine Zidane's squad, with the former Real Madrid boss set to take charge of his first France game against Turkey on Friday, September 25.
Spain boast the most valuable player in the entire competition, with Lamine Yamal valued at €220m, matching Erling Haaland's valuation and highlighting the quality at their disposal.
Portugal's €1.01bn valuation is built around a deep group of elite players, with Vitinha, Joao Neves, Ruben Dias, Rafael Leao and Bruno Fernandes all contributing heavily to their impressive squad value, while Cristiano Ronaldo remains the headline name in Jorge Jesus's squad despite speculation he could retire from international football.
There is a significant drop after the leading nations, although Norway's €589.9m valuation stands out given that they are competing alongside Portugal, Denmark and Wales in League A.
Norway's €589.9m total is heavily boosted by Erling Haaland, whose €220m valuation makes him comfortably their most valuable player, while Wales' squad value would also have been significantly higher had Gareth Bale still been available, with the former Real Madrid forward having been one of the most valuable players in the world for more than a decade.
Belgium, Turkey, Denmark and Sweden also rank inside the top 11.
Italy's €315.70m valuation is notably lower than several of their traditional rivals, while Greece, Georgia, Ukraine and Austria all sit between €245m and €280m.
Georgia's ranking is particularly eye-catching, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia alone valued at €140m.
The Republic of Ireland sit around the halfway mark in the rankings, with their €147.65m squad valuation led by Caoimhín Kelleher at €28m, while Troy Parrott's strong start to life at Real Betis could see his €25m market value rise further if he continues to impress in La Liga and Europe.
At the other end of the table, San Marino have a squad valued at just €1.17m, while Liechtenstein's €625k valuation is the lowest of all 54 nations.
Andorra, Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands are also below €10m.
The figures highlight the enormous financial disparity across the Nations League, but market value is only one measure of a national team's strength, with coaching, experience and team cohesion also playing major roles in determining what happens on the pitch.
