Overview

• UEFA will conduct the league‑phase draw on Thursday, 28 August at 5 p.m. UK time at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, with a global stream on UEFA.com and UK coverage on TNT Sports.
• Clubs are split into four coefficient‑based pots, with software generating two opponents from each pot to create eight fixtures per team, with no same‑nation matchups and a cap of two opponents from any one country.
• Several play‑off winners have completed the field, with debutants Pafos, Bodo/Glimt, Kairat Almaty and Union Saint‑Gilloise confirmed, while a small number of places and final pots were set to be confirmed after Wednesday’s ties.
• UEFA will publish the full fixture list with dates and kick‑off times by Saturday, 30 August, following the draw ceremony.
• League‑phase matchdays run 16–18 September through 28 January, with the top eight advancing directly to the round of 16 and places 9–24 entering February knockout play‑offs.
