UEFA Europa League 2025/26 Betting Odds, Tips & Live Stream Soccer

The 2nd-tier of European club soccer returns for the 2025/26 season, featuring some of the most popular teams from across Europe. All of the Europa League matches are available to bet on at Stake Sportsbook, with a wide range of soccer betting options.

What is the UEFA Europa League?

The UEFA Europa League, also known as the UEL, is one of the three European club soccer competitions organised by UEFA. It features teams from all over Europe, which can qualify based on their domestic league performance or by winning their domestic cup, such as the FA Cup. The 5th-best teams from each of the top seven ranked leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, will automatically qualify.

Other teams have to progress through the qualifying stage to reach the Europa League proper, which consists of a 36-team league phase, before the top sides progress to the knockout rounds. The tournament might be the 2nd tier of European soccer, but it’s still hugely popular, and winning teams will automatically qualify for the next season’s Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.

History of the UEFA Europa League

The UEFA Cup was introduced in the 1971/72 season, replacing the Inter-Cities Fairs European Cup. In its inaugural season, the trophy was lifted by Tottenham Hotspur, who are also the current champions after winning the Europa League in 2025.

Originally, the UEFA Cup was a straight knockout competition, but a group stage was introduced for the 2004/05 season, and in 2009, it was rebranded as the Europa League. The rebranding also coincided with an expansion to feature 32 teams.

For the 2024/25 season, the Europa League changed once more, moving away from the group stage and instead introducing a league format.

Format & Schedule of the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League

Teams enter the Europa League either through automatic qualification or by progressing through the 4 qualifying rounds. The league stage then begins, and the top teams enter the knockout phase to determine the champions.

Qualifying Rounds

53 teams take part in the Europa League qualifying rounds. Teams enter this round based on the coefficient ranking of the association they play in, and some enter from the Champions League qualifying rounds. Ultimately, 12 winners progress from the play-offs, with the remaining teams entering the UEFA Conference League qualifying stage.

  • 10 Jul and 17 July - First round

  • 24 July and 31 July - Second round

  • 7 August and 14 August - Third round

  • 21 August and 28 August - Play-offs

League Phase

The league phase begins with the draw, which determines the opponents that each team faces for their 4 home games and 4 away games. After the final matchday, the top 8 teams progress to the round of 16, while teams ranked from 9th to 24th must play in the play-offs.

  • 4 August - League draw

  • 24-25 September - Matchday 1

  • 2 October - Matchday 2

  • 23 October - Matchday 3

  • 6 November - Matchday 4

  • 27 November - Matchday 5

  • 11 December - Matchday 6

  • 22 January - Matchday 7

  • 29 January - Matchday 8

Knockout Round

During the knockout round, teams play a home and away fixture against their drawn opponent. Winners are determined by aggregate score. However, the tie is settled by extra time and penalties if the score is still level after two legs.

  • 30 January - Knockout play-offs draw

  • 19 February and 26 February - Knockout play-offs

  • 27 February - Knockout draw

  • 12 March and 19 March - Round of 16
