Formerly known as the UEFA Cup, the Europa League brings together some of Europe's best teams, all of whom qualified due to their success last season. The format of the competition has seen some changes in recent seasons due to the introduction of the Europa Conference League.
Starting from this year, 36 teams will be taking part in the group phase instead of 32 in the previous editions. Whether by virtue of their rankings or their victories in national cups, these 36 teams have earned their places, and are competing for a magnificent European title.
In terms of format, the Europa League offers a brand new format this year, as the other two European competitions, the Champions League and Conference League. It starts with a unique first round in which each club plays 8 teams without any home-and-away matches.
The top 8 then go straight through to the last 16, while the next 16 (from 9th to 24th place) have to battle it out in the play-offs (round of 32) to reach the last 8. The bottom 12 (25th to 36th place) are eliminated from all European competitions. There is no longer a relegation play-off in the Conference League. After the play-offs come the classic round of 16, then the quarter-finals and semi-finals in two legs, and finally the long-awaited final in a single match, as before. Who will be the Europa League winners in 2024-2025?
