The 2024-25 UEFA Europa League will be the 54th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organized by UEFA and the 16th season since it was rebranded from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League. The competition will feature 32 teams in the group stage, with the winners of each group and the four best third-placed teams advancing to the knockout phase. The knockout phase will consist of two-legged ties, with the away goals rule no longer in effect. The final will be played at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary, on May 28, 2025.
One of the most significant changes to the Europa League for the 2024-25 season is the introduction of a new format for the group stage.

Each team will play two matches against each of the other teams in its group, with the top two teams in each group advancing to the knockout phase.
Another change for the 2024-25 season is the addition of a fourth qualifying round. This will give more teams the opportunity to qualify for the group stage. The fourth qualifying round will be played between the teams that finish third in their respective domestic cup competitions.
The Europa League is one of the most prestigious club competitions in Europe, and the 2024-25 season is sure to be full of exciting matches and storylines. Be sure to follow all the action on UEFA.com.
