List of clubs qualified for the UEFA Europa League 2025-26 season so far

As the current season draws to a thrilling close, clubs are fiercely competing to secure their places in the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League. The lineup for next season is gradually taking shape, with teams earning qualification through top-five league standings, domestic cup victories, and playoff rounds.

This year’s Europa League culminated in an intense final in Bilbao, Spain, where Tottenham Hotspur emerged victorious over Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, claiming the coveted trophy.

Qualification routes for the Europa League have evolved this season. Notably, clubs from top European leagues that win their domestic cup competitions now earn a direct path into the tournament. For example, Crystal Palace secured their spot after a stunning FA Cup triumph against Manchester City.

The stage at which teams enter the competition depends on their association’s UEFA club coefficient rankings, ensuring a balanced and competitive field. Each knockout round is fiercely contested over two legs, adding to the drama and intensity of Europe’s premier secondary club competition.

Twelve clubs have secured their spots through qualifying rounds, which conclude with the August play-off round, while thirteen teams have advanced directly to the Europa League group stage.
