How will the Europa League draw take place?
All eight matches will be played against different teams, four at home and four away, and will be organised on the basis of seeding. All results will contribute to the overall league ranking.
At the start of the season teams will be placed into four pots based on their individual club coefficients. Each team will then be drawn against two opponents from each pot, one at home and one away.
In the league stage, teams cannot face national opponents and can face a maximum of two teams from the same country.
All 36 teams will be manually selected using physical balls. For each manually selected team, a specified automated software will randomly select eight opponents from four pots, which will be shown on the screen in the draw hall and on television. The software will also decide which matches will be home and which will be away.
The Conference League draw is the same, but only six matches are drawn.
