UEFA Europa Conference League

The 2026/27 UEFA Conference League is underway, with the qualifying phase and play-off round running from 7 July to 27 August 2026 before the league phase begins. In total, 155 clubs are competing across two routes: a 21-team Champions Path and a much larger 134-team Main Path, reflecting the competition's continued role as an entry point for clubs from across UEFA's smaller and mid-ranked associations.

Action started with First Qualifying Round ties on 9 and 16 July, featuring sides such as Zira FK, Bohemians and clubs tied to the fallout from Jagiellonia Białystok's European campaign. As rounds progress, a compact 10-team play-off round will follow, made up of four third-qualifying-round winners and six losers dropping down from the Europa League's Champions Path. The 24 clubs who come through the play-off round will join 12 sides eliminated from the Europa League play-offs to complete the Conference League's league phase field.

With every tie carrying direct consequences for European football's third tier, qualifying fixtures over the coming weeks will shape who ultimately competes on the road to the 2027 final in Istanbul on 2 June. ExPrysm will continue tracking fixtures, form and qualification scenarios as the路 path to the league phase takes shape.
