Huge drama as re-taken Montiel penalty wins Europa League for Sevilla
The UEFA Europa League is set to start next month, with Liverpool, West Ham and Brighton among the teams in the competition.
Sevilla once again got their hands on the trophy back in June - the seventh in the club’s history as they continued their impressive record - but they will not be in this season's tournament, for now at least.
Should they drop out of the Champions League however, they may find themselves bidding for another title.
But for now, teams such as West Ham - the Europa Conference League winners - Roma, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are some of the bigger sides in it from the off.
As well as those four, there are places for Brighton, Atalanta and Sporting, all bidding to lift a trophy that guarantees Champions League football the following season.
The 2023/24 campaign will be the final season of Europa League football as we know it, with a new format set to be introduced next year.
We run through everything you need to know about the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League group stages, including the draw, key dates, how to watch and live stream matches on TNT Sports and discovery+.
