The 2020-21 UEFA Europa League is the 50th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 12th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.

The final The winners of the 2019-20 UEFA Europa League will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League in the 2020 UEFA Super Cup. They will also automatically qualify for the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League group stage, and if they have already qualified through their league performance, the berth reserved will be given to the third-placed team of the 2019-20 Ligue 1, the 5th-ranked association according to next season's access list.

As the title holders of Europa League, qualified for the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League.

Association team allocation

[edit]

A total of 213 teams from all 55 UEFA member associations are expected to participate in the 2020-21 UEFA Europa League. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1-50 (except Liechtenstein) each have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 51-54 each have two teams qualify.
  • Liechtenstein and Kosovo (association 55) each have one team qualify (Liechtenstein organises only a domestic cup and no domestic league)
  • Moreover, 55 teams eliminated from the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League are transferred to the Europa League (default number is 57, but 2 fewer teams compete in the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League).

Association ranking

[edit]

For the 2020-21 UEFA Europa League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2019 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2014-15 to 2018-19.[1]

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

  • (UCL) - Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League

Changes are made to the default access list, if any of the teams that qualify for the Europa League via their domestic competitions also qualify for the Champions League as the Champions League or Europa League title holders, or if there are fewer teams transferred from the Champions League due to changes in the Champions League access list. In any case where a spot in the Europa League is vacated, cup winners of the highest-ranked associations in earlier rounds are promoted accordingly.As a result, the following changes to the access list were made:

    • The cup winners of association 18 entered the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round.
    • The cup winners of association 25 entered the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.
    • The cup winners of associations 50 and 51 entered the first qualifying round instead of the preliminary round.

Redistribution rules

[edit]

A Europa League place is vacated when a team qualifies for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualifies for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules:

  • When the domestic cup winners (considered as the "highest-placed" qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round) also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place".
  • When the domestic cup winners also qualify for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place" if possible.
  • For associations where a Europa League place is reserved for either the League Cup or end-of-season European competition play-offs winners, they always qualify for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier. If the League Cup winners have already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place is taken by the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions.
