Europa Conference League 2021/22: schedule, draw, results, odds, scores and everything you need to know
The UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) is officially launched shortly as teams seek to win the competition in its inaugural season.
The competition was confirmed in December 2018 and was originally intended to be called ‘Europa League 2’, but it was soon revealed that it would operate under an entirely new banner.
No team was able to qualify directly for the group stage and had to go through the Play-offs to compete, and will essentially be the third and final tier of European football, below the Europa League and Champions League.
A total of 184 teams from across Europe will take part in this seismic event, with one team from each of UEFA’s 55 associations.
Carabao Cup winners will automatically qualify for the competition, but with Manchester City already qualified for the Champions League, Leicester City win the FA Cup and by finishing in the Europa League berths, the berth went to the next best finisher.
After finishing sixth in the Premier League table in the 2020/21 campaign, Tottenham Hotspur became the first team from the top tier of English football to take part in the new tournament.
The UECL winner will automatically qualify for the 2022/23 Europa League.
