The Europa League class of 2024/25
Reminder of how it all works
The 36 Europa League teams have been divided into four pots based on their UEFA coeffients.
Each team will play eight matches - four at home and four away - against two teams from each pot. Their opponents will be determined by designated automated software.
Teams cannot face opponents from their own country, and can only play a maximum of two opponents from the same nation.
The top eight teams will progress straight through to the last 16, while those ranked ninth to 24th will enter the knockout play-off round in a bid to join them. However, teams ranked 25th to 36th will be eliminated from all European competition.
The same concept applies for the Europa Conference League, only the 36 teams are divided into six pots of six.
Welcome everyone!
The time has come for the draws of the UEFA Europa League and Europa Conference League for the 2024/25 campaign.
This season sees the introduction of a new 36-team league phase in the Europa League with designated automated software used to decide the schedule, by randomly selecting a club's opponents for the competition.
First up we’ll bring live coverage of the Europa League draw where Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will discover their opponents for the upcoming campaign.
Attention will then turn to the Conference League with Chelsea involved in the competition for the first time and enter as heavy favourites.
We’ll be live from 12pm UK time on this very website, plus TNT Sports 1, discovery+ and via our YouTube channel.
discovery+ is the streaming home of TNT Sports, the only place to watch the UEFA Europa and UEFA Europa Conference League live.
- - -
TNT Sports will show over 500 matches from the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Conference League across the 2024-25 season. The streaming home for TNT Sports in the UK is discovery+, where fans can enjoy a subscription that includes TNT Sports, Eurosport and entertainment in one destination.
