UEFA Europa League 2026/27 recent results
How the Europa League works
Like the Champions League, all 36 clubs are ranked in one league table rather than separate groups. Each club plays 8 league-phase matches — 4 at home and 4 away — against 8 different opponents drawn from four seeding pots.
The league-phase ranking alone decides who advances: a top-8 finish means a direct route to the round of 16, 9th to 24th means an extra knockout play-off round, and finishing 25th or below ends the campaign.

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.

25–36: eliminated — no further route through this competition this season.
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 Europa League for the season.
League phase vs the old group stage
| Previous system | Current system | |
|---|---|---|
| Clubs | 32 clubs | 36 clubs |
| Structure | 8 groups of 4 | One league table |
| Matches | 6 group games | 8 league-phase games |
| Opponents | 3 opponents (home & away) | 8 different opponents |
| Advancing | Group winner → R16; runner-up → knockout play-off | Top 8 direct, 9th–24th via play-off |

What makes the UEFA Europa League different
- The Europa League sits directly below the Champions League in UEFA's club competition structure, mostly featuring clubs that finished just outside Champions League qualification in their domestic league, or cup winners without a Champions League place.
- Its league-phase format (36 clubs, 8 matches, four pots) mirrors the Champions League structure, but with a separate entry list and a separate route into the competition.
- The Europa League winner earns a place in the following season's Champions League league phase.
Common questions
- How many Europa League league-phase matches does each club play?
