When is the Europa Conference League draw? Group stage draw time, TV and live stream
Your complete guide to the Europa Conference League draw, including time and how to watch.
The Europa Conference League has a brand new format as it returns for a fourth season.
Europe's third-string club competition has mirrored the Champions League and Europa League in its structure since it was established in 2021, and just like the other two UEFA tournaments, it will move to a new 36-team format this term.
The group stages will be replaced by a league phase, which will see teams play eight matches against eight different opposition sides – four home and four away.
The top eight placed teams will qualify automatically for the last 16, with those finishing between ninth and 24th facing off in seeded two-legged play-offs to join them.
Changes have been made to the draw, as well. The 36 teams will still be physically drawn on stage, but they will now be matched to their eight opponents using automated software with two teams drawn from each of the four pots, which are seeded using the UEFA coefficient.
