Conference League Tickets

The idea of implementing a third-tier competition on the old continent is something UEFA has been considering since 2015. In the following years, the concept started to take shape, as the decision-makers at UEFA saw the new tournament as a chance for lower-ranking clubs to advance beyond the qualifying rounds of the Champions League and Europa League.

The new UEFA Europa Conference League had its inaugural season in 2021-2022.

In total, 184 clubs from 55 European football associations are involved in the league, with 46 teams transferring from the Europa League and the Champions League.

The competition winner gets a position in the following season's Europa League.

The interest in the Europa Conference League matches in the first season was immense - something that was evident from the number of football tickets purchased through SeatPick.

About Europa Conference League Tickets

The UEFA Conference Leagues format is similar to the Champions League and Europa League. The distribution of teams in the qualification stage of the league is done based on the UEFA coefficient of member nations. The top 5 ranking nations send one team each, while countries that rank from the 6 to the 15 positions contribute with two teams. Three teams are allowed for nations ranking 16 to 50, while only two spots get allocated to countries occupying positions 51 to 55 on the UEFA ranking scale.

Following the qualifications, the league phase welcomes 36 clubs to the tournament. The top eight teams reserve their spot in the Round of 16. The remaining 8 participants are decided by a mini play-off between the teams finishing 9th to 24th. The quarterfinals and semi-finals are played in home-and-away matches format, and the finals are a single event on neutral ground.

Football fans planning on buying tickets for the upcoming 2025/26 season can use the SeatPick secure network and find a great deal on home and away matches.
