When is the Europa League draw? Group stage draw time, TV and live stream
Your complete guide to the Europa League draw, including time and how to watch.
Manchester United, Tottenham and Rangers will find out their Europa League fixtures for 2024/25 when this season's draw takes place at the end of the month.
All three of UEFA's club competitions have a new format this season, with the group stages replaced by a 36-team league phase which will see teams play eight games – four at home and four away – against eight different opposition sides.
A top-eight finish will guarantee passage to the round of 16, with the sides placed ninth to 24th battling it out to join them via seeded two-legged play-offs.
The old draw format has been replaced, as well. All 36 teams will be physically drawn, but automated software will be used to pick their eight opponents, two from each of the four pots, which are seeded based on the UEFA coefficient.
Teams cannot be drawn against rivals from their own country, and can only play a maximum of two sides from one nation.
