The 2026–27 UEFA Conference League will be the sixth season of the UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA.

The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League league phase, unless they qualify for the 2027–28 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their league performance.

As the reigning champions, Crystal Palace automatically qualified for the Europa League league phase, and are unable to defend their title as the new format does not allow clubs to transfer from the Europa League into the Conference League from the league phase onwards.

Association team allocation

A total of 165 teams from 54 of the 55 UEFA member associations are participating in the 2026–27 UEFA Conference League. The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[1]

Association ranking

For the 2026–27 UEFA Conference League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2025 UEFA association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2020–21 to 2024–25.[2]

Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Conference League, as noted below:

  • (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
  • (UEL) – Additional/vacated teams transferred from/to the UEFA Europa League

The information here reflects the ongoing suspension of Russia in European football, and so the following changes to the default access list were made:

  • The cup winners of associations 38 to 44 (Finland, Kazakhstan, Faroe Islands, Malta, Northern Ireland, Lithuania, and Liechtenstein) will enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.
  • As a result of corresponding changes to the Champions League access list, there will be one fewer loser from the Champions League first qualifying round transferred to the Conference League second qualifying round (Champions Path) so one transferred team will receive a bye to the third qualifying round (Champions Path).

As the Champions League title holders qualify for the Champions League via their domestic league's standard berth allocation, the following changes to the default access list were made:

  • As a result of corresponding changes to the Champions League access list, there will be one fewer loser from the Champions League first qualifying round (two fewer in total) transferred to the Conference League second qualifying round (Champions Path), so one transferred team (two in total) receives a bye to the third qualifying round (Champions Path).

Notes

  1. Champions League (UCL Q1): Two of the Champions League first qualifying round losers will be drawn to receive byes to the third qualifying round (Champions Path), as two fewer losers transfer to the second qualifying round (Champions Path), due to Champions League league phase berths vacated following the Champions League title holders qualifying via league position and the suspension of Russia from the 2026–27 European season.
  2. Andorra (AND): UE Santa Coloma qualified as 2nd placed team of 2025–26 Primera Divisió for the first qualifying round but failed to obtain a UEFA licence. The berth passed on to the 3rd placed team, Rànger's, who also failed to obtain a UEFA licence. The berth passed on to 4th placed team, FC Santa Coloma.[4]
  3. Azerbaijan (AZE): Turan Tovuz finished 3rd in 2025–26 Azerbaijan Premier League and qualified for the second qualifying round. UEFA removed the club because of past match-fixing by players.[5] As a result, their place in the competition was passed on to the 4th placed team, Neftçi and subsequently to the 5th place team, Zira.
  4. Czech Republic (CZE): Hradec Králové originally qualified for the second qualifying round, but were promoted to the Europa League after Karvina's disqualification for their involvement in a match-fixing scandal.
  5. Liechtenstein (LIE): The seven teams affiliated with the Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV) all played in the Swiss football league system. The only competition organised by the LFV was the Liechtenstein Football Cup – the winners of which qualified for the UEFA Conference League for this season.
  6. Russia (RUS): On 28 February 2022, Russian football clubs and national teams were suspended from FIFA and UEFA competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[6] The tables reflect Russia's ongoing suspension from UEFA competitions.[7]
