Here are all the fixtures the Ange Postecoglou-led Tottenham will play in the first stage of the 2024/2025 UEFA Europa League.
The Europa League and Conference League first-phase draws have been completed, featuring clubs such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Rangers, Chelsea, Hearts, The New Saints from Wales, Northern Ireland’s Larne, and Ireland’s Shamrock Rovers.
Tottenham Hotspur will kick off their UEFA Europa League (UEL) 2024/2025 campaign in an opening fixture against Qarabağ, with their league phase opponents finalized during the UEL draw which was held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco in August 2024.
Details about the new Europa League format
The Europa League has adopted a new format similar to the Champions League, where the traditional group stage has been replaced by a single league phase. The details of this format are as follows:
- 36 teams compete in a single league table.
- Each team plays 8 matches (4 at home, 4 away) against 8 different opponents.
- The top 8 teams automatically qualify for the Round of 16.
- Teams ranked 9th to 24th will enter a two-legged play-off to join the top 8.
- Teams ranked 25th to 36th will be eliminated.
This format change is designed to enhance competition and excitement, involving more teams in the knockout stages and introducing an extra play-off round for added drama.
