How it works
The 54 national teams are divided into four leagues according to the 2026/27 access list. Leagues A, B and C have 16 teams each in four groups of four; League D has six teams in two groups of three. Every team plays the others in its group home and away, with three points for a win and one for a draw. Teams level on points are separated first by the matches between them (points, goal difference, goals scored), then by goal difference and goals scored in all group matches, followed by further criteria.
In League A, the four group winners and the four runners-up play two-legged quarter-finals in March 2027. Each group winner is drawn against a runner-up from another group and plays the second leg at home. The four winners go to the Finals in June 2027: two semi-finals paired by draw, a third-place match and the final, all single matches. A two-legged tie level on aggregate goes to extra time at the end of the second leg and then to penalties; a level semi-final or final also goes to extra time and penalties, and the third-place match goes straight to penalties.
On 15 September 2026 UEFA adjusted promotion and relegation so that the 2028/29 edition can be played in three leagues of 18. In League A, the two best-ranked third-placed teams stay in the league; the two lowest-ranked third-placed teams and the two best-ranked fourth-placed teams play the League A/B play-offs against League B's four runners-up; the two lowest-ranked fourth-placed teams are relegated. In League B, the group winners are promoted, the third-placed teams stay, and the fourth-placed teams meet League C's runners-up in the League B/C play-offs. In League C, the group winners are promoted and the third- and fourth-placed teams stay. League D is discontinued, so its six teams move up to League C.
Teams finishing in the same position in different groups are compared by points, goal difference, goals scored, away goals scored, wins, away wins, disciplinary points and access-list position. The play-offs are drawn with the higher-league teams seeded and are played over two legs between 25 and 30 March 2027, the lower-league team at home first; the winners play in the higher league in 2028/29 and the losers in the lower one.
This season
The 2026/27 edition is the fifth and the last with four leagues. Portugal start it as holders, having beaten Spain 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the 2025 final in Munich. The 54 teams play matchdays 1 to 4 in a single window from 24 September to 6 October 2026 and matchdays 5 and 6 from 12 to 17 November. The League A quarter-finals and the League A/B and B/C play-offs are scheduled for 25-30 March 2027 and the Finals for 9-13 June 2027. On 15 September 2026 UEFA adjusted promotion and relegation for the move to three leagues of 18 teams in 2028/29; all six League D teams go up to League C.
About
What bora.fans is, in three paragraphs.
bora.fans is a football matchday concierge. You pick the match; the page gathers everything around it — tickets, flights, coaches, accommodation, the stadium, the bars and restaurants nearby, and the club's official shirt.
Matches, tables, line-ups and live scores come from ge. The guides — club by club, stadium by stadium — were written by people, in Portuguese. Each match's weather forecast is measured, not invented: when there's no reading for that day, the page says so.
bora.fans is not affiliated with any club, league, federation or confederation, nor with ge or Grupo Globo. It's an independent site that organises public information and points to whoever sells.

Curation
How places and guides are chosen.
Every address on the page was chosen by hand and tied to a stadium, not a city. Distance is measured from the stadium's own coordinates, which is why one bar shows up in one band for the Maracanã and a different one for São Januário — the two are 2.4 km apart.
Nothing here is generated automatically. The guides are text written by people; squads carry the date that list was true, rather than pretending it holds forever.
When we don't know, the page says so. A stadium with no guide shows no guide; a player with no birth year stays without one. We'd rather leave a field empty than a guess that looks like a fact.

Advertise
We haven't published a rate card yet — and the reason is simple.
A media kit states price and reach. We don't have audited audience numbers to publish, and publishing estimates would be exactly the kind of claim this site avoids everywhere else in its content.
When there's something verifiable to state, the rate card goes here. Until then, partnership proposals are welcome at the email below.

Contact
For corrections, partnerships and removal requests.
If something on this page is wrong — a kick-off time, a stadium, a score, a player's name — write in. A data correction is the request we like getting most.
This is also where to request a photo's removal, resolve a copyright question, or propose a partnership.

Privacy
What's stored, where, and what never leaves your browser.
There's no account, login or sign-up on bora.fans. None of our databases store who you are: there's no user to associate anything with.
Two things live in your own browser. The origin city you choose is stored in localStorage, under the key bora.origin, and your chosen language is stored in a cookie called bf_lang. Both exist so the page doesn't ask again on every visit, and you clear both by clearing the site's data.
If you allow location access, your browser reports a point that we use to suggest the nearest origin city. That point is never sent anywhere: the comparison happens inside the page, against a list of cities that already ships with it. The permission is your browser's, and you can revoke it at any time.
The network that serves the site reports the country and continent the request came from, and we use that only to order matches — the nearest competition first. It isn't recorded.
Purchases happen on each partner's own site. bora.fans never sees a card, a national ID number, or a delivery address, because none of that passes through here.
The infrastructure is enterprise-grade edge infrastructure, ready for LGPD, GDPR and CCPA. To exercise any right under those laws, write to the email below — in practice, what we have to delete fits inside your own browser.

Terms
The rules of use, no fine print.
Using bora.fans is free. We earn a commission from affiliate partners when you book through here, and you pay exactly the same as you would going direct.
Information is organised carefully and can still be wrong or out of date. Matches get rescheduled, stadiums change, prices vary. Always check the official channel before buying a ticket, a fare or accommodation — the decision and the risk of the purchase are yours.
Scores, tables, line-ups and rounds are published by ge. We're not responsible for that data and have no relationship with whoever publishes it.
Every purchase is a contract between you and the partner who sold it. Cancellation, refunds, delays and billing are resolved with them, under their own terms.
The text, the guides and the pages' organisation are ours. Crests, photos and marks belong to their owners and appear here for reference, with credit where the licence requires it.

Cookies
There's one. It's called bf_lang.
bora.fans uses exactly one cookie: bf_lang, which stores the language you chose. It's only written when you deliberately switch language — browsing the site without touching that control writes nothing.
It lasts a year, because language isn't a session preference: whoever wants Spanish today will want Spanish next month too.
There's no analytics, advertising, social-network or third-party cookie. We don't use a Facebook pixel, Google Analytics or anything similar. That's why there's no cookie banner here: there's nothing for you to consent to.
The origin city lives in localStorage, under the key bora.origin. That isn't a cookie and is never sent to the server in any request — it stays in the browser until you clear the site's data.
The stadium's map is a Google Maps iframe and follows Google's own cookie policy. It's the only third-party content the page loads.

Affiliates
We earn a commission. You pay the same.
Several links on this page are affiliate links: if you book a flight, a hotel, a coach fare or a shirt through them, we receive a commission from the partner.
That doesn't change your price. The commission comes out of the partner's margin, not your pocket, and the amount is the same as you'd pay typing their address into your browser.
Partners are chosen by who can actually serve that match. A company that doesn't cover the match's city doesn't appear on the card — even if it's in our records — because naming someone who can't serve you is the whole promise and none of the delivery.
No partner pays for a better position, and commission decides the order of nothing on this page.
