2025–26 UEFA Conference League league phase

International football club competition in Europe From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025–26 UEFA Conference League league phase began on 2 October and ended on 18 December 2025. A total of 36 teams competed in the league phase to decide the 24 places in the knockout phase of the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League.

Crystal Palace, Drita, Hamrun Spartans, KuPS, Rayo Vallecano, Samsunspor, Shelbourne, Shkëndija, Sigma Olomouc and Universitatea Craiova made their debut appearances in a major UEFA competition group or league phase. Hamrun Spartans was the first team from Malta to play in a major UEFA competition group stage or league phase.[1]

A total of 29 national associations were represented in the league phase. Poland was the first country to have four clubs play in the Conference League group stage/league phase, and it was also the first time in history that four Polish clubs competed in any edition of a UEFA competition group stage or league phase.

Format

Each team played six matches, three at home and three away, against six different opponents, with all 36 teams ranked in a single league table. Teams were separated into six pots based on their 2025 UEFA club coefficients, and each team played one team from each of the six pots. The top eight teams in the standings 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 European competition.

Tiebreakers

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were equal on points upon completion of the league phase, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine their rankings:[2]

While the league phase was in progress, teams were ranked according to criteria 1–5 only, and if still tied, were given equal ranking and sorted alphabetically. Criteria 6–10 were only used after the final matches took place.

  1. Goal difference;
  2. Goals scored;
  3. Away goals scored;
  4. Wins;
  5. Away wins;
  6. Higher number of points obtained collectively by league phase opponents;
  7. Superior collective goal difference of league phase opponents;
  8. Higher number of goals scored collectively by league phase opponents;
  9. Lower disciplinary points total (direct red card or expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point);
  10. UEFA club coefficient.

Teams and seeding

The 36 teams were divided into six pots of six teams each, with teams allocated to pots based on their 2025 UEFA club coefficients.[3][4] The participants included:

Draw

The draw for the league phase pairings was held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 29 August 2025, 13:00 CEST, along with the draw for the Europa League league phase.[5] The automated draw software instantly conducted the full digital draw at random, determining the home and away matches for all clubs. Each team faced one opponent from each of the six pots, three of which they faced at home and three away. For the purposes of determining match venues, adjacent pots were paired (Pot 1 with 2, 3 with 4, and 5 with 6) so that, for each pot pairing, teams would face one opponent 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. For political reasons, clubs from Gibraltar–Spain and Kosovo–Bosnia and Herzegovina could not be drawn against each other. The draw results were then revealed pot-by-pot, starting with Pot 1, with the intention of "maintaining suspense and clarity for viewers". This was a change of format from the previous season, where teams were individually drawn before their opponents were digitally determined.[6][7]

The venue for each club's fixtures is shown in brackets below (H: home; A: away).

Results summary

Matches

The fixture list was announced on 30 August 2025, the day after the draw.[10][11][12] This was to ensure no calendar clashes with teams in the Champions League and Europa League playing in the same cities.

In principle, each team did not play more than two home matches or two away matches in a row, and played one home match and one away match across both the first and last two matchdays. The matches were played on 2 October, 23 October, 6 November, 27 November, 11 December and 18 December 2025 (exclusive week).[note 1] All matches were generally played on Thursdays. In principle, the scheduled kick-off times were 16:30, 18:45 and 21:00 CET/CEST. All fixtures on the final matchday were played simultaneously at 21:00.[13][2]
