UEFA Europa League

The Europa League began in 1971 as the UEFA Cup and was the third tier of competition below the Champions League (Then the European Cup) and the Cup Winners Cup. In 1999 the UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup were merged, and since the 2010/11 season, the competition has been called the UEFA Europa League.

The Europa League is the second tier of competition, below the Champions League and above the Europa Conference League.

Europa League Structure

The Europa League consists of 3 qualifying rounds, a play-off round and a League stage.

36 Teams compete from the League stage, each playing 8 matches against 8 different opponents. The top 8 teams automatically progress to the round of 16, while teams ranked 25th and under are eliminated from the competition. The final 8 places in the round of 16 are decided by a play off round, where the teams ranked 9th-16th play against the teams ranked 17th-24th.

Teams qualify for the Europa League through domestic routes and, depending on their qualifying path, enter at different stages of the competition.

Since 2015, the winners of the Europa League have qualified for the Champions League the following season.

Europa League 26/27 campaign

The Europa League has long shed its reputation as the Champions League’s awkward younger sibling, and the 2026-27 campaign is already shaping up to be great under the expanded 36-team Swiss-system format.

Three-time winners Juventus and seven-time European Cup champions AC Milan bring genuine Italian royalty to the competition, while Bayer Leverkusen, rebuilding under Carles Martínez Novell, and Portuguese giants Benfica ensure the race to May’s final in Frankfurt will be contested throughout.

For the British contingent, this season offers a fascinating blend of European pedigree and fairytale returns. Crystal Palace enter the fray with a massive target on their backs after their magnificent Europa Conference League triumph last term, while Bournemouth look to translate their domestic dynamism into a deep run on the continent.

Yet, perhaps the most romantic storyline belongs to Sunderland, who are back in Europe for the first time since 1973. Under Regis Le Bris, the Black Cats have already proven they are not here just to make up the numbers, securing a dramatic late away win in Portugal on Matchday 2 to signal their intent.

Betting on the Europa League

As with most major tournaments, it is popular to bet on the tournament's outright winner as well as the winners of individual games. It is also popular to place bets on the top goalscorer.

Bets on which teams will make the final and the nationality of the final winner are also possible.
