The draw for the upcoming UEFA Europa League 2025/26 season took place on Friday in Monaco, with all 36 teams discovering their opponents. Like the UEFA Champions League draw, 36 teams were drawn into four pots and then, in a random draw, each team got to know their opponents in home and away fixtures.
The draw was made in such a way that no team will face more than two opponents from their national league or association. Each team will play eight games in the group stage, and teams finishing in the top eight will qualify for the knockouts while teams from 9-24 will face each other in knockout playoffs.
Teams finishing in the 25-36 positions will be eliminated from the tournament.
