In the UEFA Europa League group stage, 32 teams were divided into eight groups. The first two qualified for the qualifying tournament, and those who took first place immediately secured a place in the second round. The runners-up in the first round were joined by eight teams that finished third in the Champions League groups. The third-place winners moved on to the European Conference League competition, while the fourth-place group winners ended their European Cup season.
The final match of the Europa League will take place in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, on May 22.
In the previous season, Sevilla became the seven-time winner of this tournament, beating Roma in the final on penalties.
