The 2024–25 UEFA Europa League is the 54th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 16th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League. This is the first season played under a new format, which replaced the 32-team group stage with a 36-team league phase.^[1] This increases the total number of matches played in the competition (excluding qualifying rounds) from 141 to 189. The new format also does not allow teams to transfer from the Champions League league or knockout phase to the Europa League knockout phase, and thus Europa League winners (Atalanta in the 2023–24 edition) can no longer defend their title as the winner of the Europa League automatically qualifies for the Champions League league phase.

The final will be played on 21 May 2025 at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.^[2] The winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League will automatically qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League league phase and earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.

A total of 76 teams from 41 of the 55 UEFA member associations are participating in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League. Among them, 32 associations had teams directly qualifying for the Europa League, while for the other 23 associations that did not have any teams directly qualifying, 9 of them had teams playing after being transferred from the Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:^[3]

• The title holders of the Europa Conference League were given an entry in the Europa League (if they did not qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via league position).
• Associations 1–12 each have two teams.
• Associations 13–33 (except Russia^{[Note RUS]}) each have one team.
• 31 teams eliminated from the 2024–25 Champions League were transferred to the Europa League.

For the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2023 UEFA association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2018–19 to 2022–23.^[4]

Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:

• (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
• (UECL) – Additional berth for 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League title holders

The information here reflects the ongoing suspension of Russia in European football, and so the following changes to the default access were made:

• The cup winners of association 16 (Norway) entered the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.

As the Europa League title holders (Atalanta) qualified for the Champions League via their domestic league's standard berth allocation, the following changes to the default access list were made:

• The cup winners of associations 17 to 21 (except Russia)^{[Note RUS]} (Denmark, Croatia, Greece and Israel) entered the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:

• UECL: Europa Conference League title holders
• CW: Cup winners
• 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.: League position of the previous season
• UCL: Transferred from the Champions League
  • CH/LP PO: Losers from the play-off round (Champions/League path)
  • CH/LP Q3: Losers from the third qualifying round (Champions/League path)
  • CH/LP Q2: Losers from the second qualifying round (Champions/League path)

The third qualifying round was divided into Champions Path (CH) and Main Path (MP).

The league phase draw for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League took place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 30 August 2024, 13:00 CEST.^[11][12] The 36 teams were divided into four pots of nine teams each based on their UEFA club coefficient.

The 36 teams were manually drawn and then automated software digitally drew their eight different opponents at random, determining which of their matches were at home and which ones away. Each team faced two opponents from each of the four pots, one at home and one away. Teams could not face opponents from their own association, and could only be drawn against a maximum of two sides from the same association.^[13][14]

RFS made their debut appearance since the introduction of the group stage.

A total of 23 national associations were represented in the league phase.

The top eight ranked teams received a bye to the round of 16. The teams ranked from 9th to 24th contested the knockout phase play-offs, with the teams ranked from 9th to 16th seeded for the draw. Teams ranked from 25th to 36th were eliminated from all competitions, with no access to the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League.

In the knockout phase, teams will play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The bracket structure for the knockout phase is partially fixed in advance using seeding, with teams' positions in the bracket determined by the final standings in the league phase. In the knockout phase, there is no country protection, with teams from the same association able to face each other in any round. Teams can also face opponents they played during the league phase.

The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:^[3]

• In the draw for the knockout phase play-offs, the eight teams finishing the league phase in positions 9–16 are seeded, and the eight teams finishing the league phase in positions 17–24 are unseeded. The draw is split into four sections based on the predetermined bracket, with the seeded teams in each section drawn against one of their two possible unseeded opponents. The seeded teams host the second leg.
• In the draw for the round of 16, the eight teams finishing the league phase in positions 1–8 are seeded, and the eight winners of the knockout phase play-offs are unseeded. Again, the draw is split into four sections based on the predetermined bracket, with the seeded teams in each section drawn against one of their two possible unseeded opponents. The seeded teams host the second leg.
• In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the exact match pairings are predetermined based on the tournament bracket. A draw is conducted only to determine which team plays the first leg at home. A draw is also held to determine which semi-final winner is designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it is played at a neutral venue).
