Play-offs

The last qualifying round was called "play-off" for the purpose of better marketing opportunities. In the play-offs, too, “champions” and “pursuers” were drawn separately. From this round onwards, all games were marketed centrally by UEFA in order to generate greater media attention and thus increased advertising income.

Losing teams moved to the group stage of the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League .

The first legs were on 18./19. August, the second leg on 25./26. August 2009.
