UEFA Conference League 2026/27 recent results

How the Conference League works

All 36 clubs are ranked in a single league table. Each club plays 6 league-phase matches — 3 at home and 3 away — against 6 different opponents, drawn from six seeding pots.

The league phase is shorter than the Champions League's or Europa League's (6 matches instead of 8), but the qualification positions work the same way: a top-8 finish goes straight through, 9th to 24th means an extra play-off round, and 25th or below ends the run.

Knockout path

Top-8 league-phase finishers go straight to the round of 16 — clubs placed 9th–24th must first win a two-legged play-off tie to reach it.

How the standings work

Like a domestic league, a win is worth 3 points and a draw 1 point. Every club's league-phase ranking is decided purely by points (then UEFA's published tiebreak criteria for clubs level on points) — there are no separate groups to win, just one table that determines who advances straight through, who plays an extra knockout play-off round, and who is out of the UEFA Conference League for the season.

What makes the UEFA Conference League different

  • The Conference League is UEFA's third club competition, generally featuring clubs that did not qualify for the Champions League or Europa League through their domestic league or cup.
  • Unlike the Champions League and Europa League — both of which grew from 6 to 8 league-phase matches in the 2024/25 reform — the Conference League kept its 6-match league phase; the reform mainly widened it from groups of 4 to one 36-club table.
  • It is the newest of the three competitions, first played in 2021/22, and its winner earns a place in the following season's Europa League league phase.

Common questions
