The 2024–25 Conference League is the fourth season of the UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA.
This will be the first UEFA Conference League played under the new format of the Swiss-system. From this season, the competition is renamed to UEFA Conference League from the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The final will be played in Stadion Wrocław in Wrocław, Poland. The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League league stage, unless they qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League through their league performance.
Association team allocation[]
A total of 168 teams from 53 of the 55 UEFA member associations are set to participate in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League (the exceptions being Liechtenstein which does not organise a domestic league and Russia who is currently suspended). The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
- Associations 1–12 each have one team.
- Association 13–34 and 51–55 (except Liechtenstein and Russia) each have two teams.
- Association 35–50 each have three teams.
Association ranking[]
For the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2023 UEFA association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2018–19 to 2022–23.
Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:
- (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
- (UEL) – Additional berth for UEFA Europa League title holders

Notes
- ^ Champions League (UCL Q1): Two of the Champions League first qualifying round losers will be drawn to receive byes to the third qualifying round (Champions Path), as two fewer losers were transferred to the second qualifying round (Champions Path), due to Champions League league phase berths vacated following the Champions League Title Holders (Real Madrid) qualifying via league position and the suspension of Russia from the 2024–25 European season.
- ^ Albania (ALB): Skënderbeu, who finished third in the 2023–24 Kategoria Superiore, are currently banned from entering UEFA competitions. As a result, their berth in the competition was passed onto the fifth placed team, Tirana.
- ^ Georgia (GEO): Georgian Cup winners FC Saburtalo Tbilisi changed their name to FC Iberia 1999 on 27 February 2024.
- ^ Greece (GRE): Olympiacos qualified for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League league phase by winning the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League, so their third place berth is vacated.
- ^ Latvia (LVA): Valmiera, who finished 4th in the 2023 Latvian Higher League, were denied a UEFA license. As a result, their place in the competition was passed onto the 5th-placed team, Liepāja.
- ^ Liechtenstein (LIE): The seven teams affiliated with the Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV) all play in the Swiss football league system. The only competition organised by the LFV is the Liechtenstein Football Cup – the winners of which qualify for the UEFA Conference League for the 2024–25 season.
- ^ Lithuania (LTU): Cup winners FK TransINVEST have been granted an exception to the three year rule.
- ^ Luxembourg (LUX): Swift Hesperange, who finished second, were denied a UEFA license. Consequently, their place in the competition was passed onto the next highest-ranked team granted a UEFA licence by the FLF, UNA Strassen, who finished sixth.
- ^ Russia (RUS): On 28 February 2022, Russian football clubs and national teams were suspended from FIFA and UEFA competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

League stage[]
- Main article: 2024–25 UEFA Conference League league stage
The league phase draw for the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League took place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 30 August 2024, 14:30 CEST. The 36 teams were divided into six pots of six teams each based on their UEFA club coefficient.
The 36 teams were manually drawn and then automated software digitally drew their six different opponents at random, determining which of their matches were at home and which ones away. Each team will face one opponent from each of the six pots. Teams could not face opponents from their own association, and could only be drawn against a maximum of two sides from the same association.
Borac Banja Luka, Celje, Cercle Brugge, 1. FC Heidenheim, Jagiellonia Białystok, Larne, Noah, Pafos, Petrocub Hîncești, The New Saints, and Víkingur Reykjavík will make their debut appearances in a major UEFA competition group or league phase. Noah became the first club in Conference League history to successfully navigate all four rounds of qualification, while The New Saints and Larne are the first teams from the Wales and Northern Ireland associations, respectively, to play in a major UEFA competition group or league stage.
A total of 29 national associations will be represented in the league phase.
Table[]
The top eight ranked teams will receive a bye to the round of 16. The teams ranked from 9th to 24th will contest the knockout phase play-offs, with the teams ranked from 9th to 16th seeded for the draw. Teams ranked from 25th to 36th are eliminated from the competition.
