Live UEFA Europa League TV & Broadcast Schedule

The UEFA Europa League is the secondary club football competition in Europe, organized annually by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). Running from September through late May, the tournament features clubs qualifying through strong domestic league finishes and national cup victories. Beyond hoisting the silver trophy, the champions earn direct entry into the following season’s UEFA Champions League league phase, establishing immense sporting and financial motivation across every fixture.

Top teams

Sevilla FC stands as the competition's historic benchmark with a record haul of titles, while traditional continental powers such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, AS Roma, Porto, and Ajax regularly headline title charges when competing in the tournament. Ambitious outfits from across Europe’s top domestic leagues—including Athletic Club, Real Sociedad, Eintracht Frankfurt, Lyon, and Lazio—routinely navigate deep knockout runs. With drop-ins from the UEFA Champions League completely eliminated under the current competition structure, title contenders face a pure, unbroken test from the opening matchday through the final.

Format

The tournament features a 36-team single-league phase, replacing the historical four-team group system. Each club contests eight matches against eight distinct opponents (four home and four away) to determine position in a unified table. The top eight teams advance directly to the round of 16. Clubs finishing 9th through 24th enter a two-legged knockout phase play-off round to claim the remaining eight spots, while teams placing 25th through 36th are eliminated without dropping into the Conference League. The knockout rounds follow traditional two-legged aggregate ties through the quarterfinals and semifinals, concluding with a single-leg final on neutral turf.

Viewership

Broadcast distribution across key European markets is anchored by premier networks, including Sky Sports and TNT Sports windows in the United Kingdom, Canal+ in France, Movistar Plus+ in Spain, and Sky Italia in Italy. In the United States, coverage is distributed across Paramount+ and CBS Sports platforms, alongside international streaming carried by DAZN and regional rights holders across Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Thursday night matchdays consistently pull massive linear and digital audiences, driven by packed atmospheres at iconic continental stadiums and the pursuit of automatic Champions League qualification.
