to get an idea, I searched Arsenal's news releases last year - they announced fixture dates the next day

Is that definitely the actual draw time rather than the following: "Seedings, any groupings and the procedures will be available from 09:00 CET on the day of each draw"? Isnt the normal draw time around 11.00? I havent a clue - just asking.

Set your alarm everyone.
I think representatives from each club get together straight after the draw at the venue and work it out so it’s usually quite quick.

Surely the fixtures will already be planned out?
It’s not like the CL that have both Tues and Wed, we all play Thursday so once all four teams are drawn in order?
Group whatever
1 vs 2
3 vs 4 etc
On the designated dates and then just reverse the fixtures for the second half of the group.

I looked into last years fixtures and it seems like the group matches follow one of these orders:
HAAHHA
AHHAAH
HAHAHA
AHAHAH
I also think that match 3 and 4 are the reverse of each either.
I did this hoping I might be able to work out the likelihood of which date might be an away game but it didn’t exactly help!
I’d be interested to know how the club negotiate the fixtures; I imagine they would want home league fixtures after away European matches if they could. Our first league fixture after group game 1 is Bournemouth at home, so I’m gambling on the club trying to get an away game first up…
Edit: the first four group games are all followed by home games so maybe not!

Are we sure it's not 11.00?
Ooh it’s a corner

It has traditionally been that 11.00 slot I think

I’m sure I’ve read what you’ve posted on the Eoropa League website
Yes indeed. That's where I quoted it from.

You are correct. 11am(12pm central European time).
'Seedings, any groupings and the procedure will be available here(UEFA website) from 09:00 CET on the day of the draw'.

Definitely going to be HAHAHA this year as Chelsea didn't qualify.
