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.
