The 36 teams from UEFA Europa League already know their rivals during the League Phase. The competition starts late september, and there will be eight matchdays for the league stage, until 29 January 2029, with the format you may remember from last year: the best eight teams from the 36 qualify for round of 16, and teams ranked 9-24 play an extra play-off round. This year, with some changes due to last year's complaints...
After the draw that took place in Monaco on Friday, all 36 teams know their rivals: 4 games home, 4 abroad, and never with teams from the same country. 2 from each pot, to ensure fairness (four pots divided the teams according to their ranks).
