How does the Europa League work?

Strap yourselves in – it gets complicated. Think of the Europa League as the Champions League’s little brother, or second-tier. There are a whole manner of ways in which teams can qualify. 

In the big European leagues, the two or three teams best-finishing teams outside the Champions League qualification spots qualify for the Europa League. Entry can also be possible through winning a domestic cup. The lower the standard of the league, the fewer teams can qualify.

The tournament begins with four qualification rounds, usually filled with teams from small leagues, teams that finished outside the Champions League spots in the biggest European leagues, and 10 losers from the Champions League play-off round.

The official competition begins with a 48-team group stage, made up of 12 groups containing four teams each. In each group, each team plays each other twice, once home and once away. The top two qualify.

Then the knockout stage begins with the round of 32, where those who qualified from the group stage are joined by eight teams that finished 3rd in their Champions League groups. During the knockout stages there are two legs in each fixture, except the final, which is a stand-alone match.

Our Europa League tips cover all the games, from the group stage right through to the final. 

When is each stage?

The qualifying rounds take place over the summer, while the group stage takes place between 8 September and 3 November 2022. The dates for the knockout rounds are as follows…
