[Albion] Europa League format

[kevo]

Presuming we avoid a complete calamity and qualify, I think we'd go directly into a (seeded?) group stage (8 groups of four teams).

Winners go straight through to the first knockout round (16 teams). But runners-up have to play in an extra prelim knockout round which includes 8 teams eliminated from the Champions League.

We'd play a minimum of 6 extra games and a max of 11 (EDIT: corrected to 15)

Does that sound correct?! Not sure when the group stage starts.

The group stage for the Europa League will start on the 21st September 2023.

The final will be held at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on the 22nd May 2024.

Shirley a maximum of 13 games if making it to the final. Our first game will be Thursday 21st September I believe.

It's 15 I think - my head (unsurprisingly) hurts (I forgot aboout two legs!):

Six games at group stage.
Then (possibly) prelim knockout round (2), round of 16 (2), Qtr final (2), Semi (2), Final (1).

We go straight to the Group stages in the Europa League. We have to qualify for the Conference League though.

Good that we go straight into a seeded group. Are there qualifying games before this. What is earliest we can be drawn against Liverpool

Luckily we're not in that.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

If we get knocked out early does this mean we go straight into the Scottish Premiership?

Is it live normally?

Is it live normally?

yes, it's shown live on BT Sport (or whatever it's renaming itself)

Luckily we're not in that.

After all this celebrating, can you imagine if we got knocked out in the first qualifying round to Lokomotiv Pigfarm?
