Defending champions France are in Group A1 with Denmark, Austria and Croatia, while neighbours Portugal and Spain have been drawn together in Group A2 with the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
Each team will first play four group game from 2 to 14 June, then a final two games from 22 to 27 September 2022.
The four group winners from the top division – League A – will play in the finals in June 2023.
The teams who win each group in the lower three divisions win promotion, with most of the teams who finish bottom getting relegated.
England lost on penalties to Italy in the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley in July.
However, crowd trouble at that game means the Three Lions’ first home game in the Nations League will be played behind closed doors after European football’s governing body Uefa sanctioned the Football Association over the disorder.
Wales are playing in the top division of the tournament for the first time after they were promoted in the last edition.
