The UEFA is changing the Europa League format to a single league table of 36 teams, each team facing 8 opponents, increasing competitiveness and strategy.
With this new structure designed to test squad depth, the top 8 clubs will qualify directly for the last-16 while others have a playoff to reach knockouts.
The draw for the revamped Europa League is set for August 30, 2024, and will feature a manual drawing process familiar to fans, ensuring equitable matchups.
This new format mirrors the one used in the Champions League and Europa Conference League, aiming for more engaging competition on Thursday nights.
