Format
Every national football team representating Raspur Pact member nations and territories will be divided into three 'Leagues' of 8 split into two groups of four. The teams will be allocated to leagues based on the FMF Elo Micras Rankings published after the 2020 Continental Championships. Each team will play six matches using the home-and-away round robin format to be played in October, November and December.
In the top division, League A, teams compete to become the Raspur Pact Nations League champions. The two group winners and runner-ups of League A qualify for the Nations League Finals, which is played in a knockout format consisting of the semi-finals, third place play-off, and final. The semi-final pairings will be the winners of each group against the runners-up of the opposite group.
