International football competition

The 2024–25 UEFA Europa League is the 54th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 16th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League. This is the first season played under a new format, which replaces the 32-team group stage with a 36-team league phase.[1] This increases the total number of matches played in the competition (excluding qualifying rounds) from 141 to 189. The new format also does not allow teams to transfer from the Champions League league or knockout phase to the Europa League knockout phase, and thus Europa League winners (Atalanta in the 2023–24 edition) can no longer defend their title as the winner of the Europa League automatically qualifies for the Champions League league phase.

The final will be played on 21 May 2025 at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.[2] The winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League will automatically qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League league phase and earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.

## Association team allocation

[edit]

A total of 76 teams from 41 of the 55 UEFA member associations are set to participate in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League. Among them, 32 associations had teams directly qualifying for the Europa League, while for the other 23 associations that did not have any teams directly qualifying, 9 of them had teams playing after being transferred from the Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[3]

* The title holders of the Europa Conference League were given an entry in the Europa League (if they did not qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via league position).
* Associations 1–12 each have two teams.
* Associations 13–33 (except Russia[Note RUS]) each have one team.
* 31 teams eliminated from the 2024–25 Champions League were transferred to the Europa League.

### Association ranking

[edit]

For the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2023 UEFA association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2018–19 to 2022–23.[4]

Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:

* (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
* (UECL) – Additional berth for 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League title holders

Notes

1. ^

Russia (RUS): On 28 February 2022, Russian football clubs and national teams were suspended from FIFA and UEFA competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5] The tables reflect Russia's ongoing suspension from UEFA competitions.[6]

2. ^

Slovenia (SVN): Cup winners Rogaška failed to obtain a UEFA licence, so the berth reserved for the cup winners was transferred to the second-placed team in the league, Maribor.

The league phase draw for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League took place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 30 August 2024, 13:00 CEST.[11][12] The 36 teams were divided into four pots of nine teams each based on their UEFA club coefficient.

The 36 teams were manually drawn and then automated software digitally drew their eight different opponents at random, determining which of their matches were at home and which ones away. Each team will face two opponents from each of the four pots, one at home and one away. Teams could not face opponents from their own association, and could only be drawn against a maximum of two sides from the same association.[13][14]

RFS made their debut appearance since the introduction of the group stage.

A total of 23 national associations are represented in the league phase.

### Table

[edit]

The top eight ranked teams will receive a bye to the round of 16. The teams ranked from 9th to 24th will contest the knockout phase play-offs, with the teams ranked from 9th to 16th seeded for the draw. Teams ranked from 25th to 36th are eliminated from all competitions, with no access to the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League.

## Knockout phase

[edit]

The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the knockout phase and will receive a bye to the round of 16, while the teams finishing in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged first round play-off to secure their path to the round of 16, with teams ranked 9th–16th being seeded and hosting the second leg at home while teams ranked 17th to 24th hosting the first leg. The winners will join the top eight, who host the second leg at home, in the round of 16. Meanwhile, teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated from all competitions, with no access to the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League.[1]
