The Europa League fixtures are out. After one of the best tournaments in recent years in 2023/24, the competition returns with a brand new format.
Europe’s secondary competition offers clubs not only the chance to win a major trophy in their cabinet, but also qualification for the Champions League, with the winners guaranteed a spot in next year’s tournament. And, like Europe’s premier competition, the Europa League has replaced the group stage with a single league phase featuring as the tournament first round.
This will see 36 teams in one league, with each side playing eight different clubs across the eight matchdays.
Clubs from the same country cannot play one another, with the draw taken care of by automated software which digitally drew the fixtures.
As with the Champions League, the top eight finishing teams qualify for the round of 16 – sides who place between 9th and 24th head for the play-off round. There is no drop down to the conference league, with the remaining 12 sides eliminated.
It’s quite the shift from the simple old group stage. To help with the transition, here is every game of the Europa League league phase from matchday one through to the final round of games on Thursday January 30.
We also have the info you need for the Champions League fixtures and the Conference League fixtures, too. Let's go!
