When will the knockout round playoff ties be played?​

The first and second legs will be played one week apart in February.

• First legs: February 15
• Second legs: February 22

And what about the other Europa League key dates?​

After the knockout round playoff is wrapped up, all roads lead to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium in late May.

• Round of 16 draw: February 23, 2024
• Round of 16: March 7 and 14, 2024
• Quarter-finals: April 11 and 18, 2024

Brighton are seeded because we won our group so will host the second leg of the round of 16 in March which gives us a slight advantage of playing any extra time at home - but we won’t know who we’re drawn with until the outcome of the playoffs on 22nd February and draw for the final 16 on the 23rd.
