qualification

The division into the individual qualifying rounds is based on the UEFA access list. The order of the associations is determined by the association coefficients of the UEFA five-year ranking 2017/2018. If the cup winner of a national association qualifies for the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League or has already qualified for the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League, the next team from the national league will receive the worst possible starting position of this nation in the qualification for the UEFA Europa League, during the other teams move up accordingly and take over the next better starting place. If a club is not admitted to the UEFA competitions, the next best team in the national league moves up.

The teams with the higher club coefficient (KK) of the UEFA five-year ranking 2018/19 are seeded. If the club coefficient is the same, the order is determined by the rating points achieved by the teams in the previous season or in the following years. If the previous round has not yet been completed at the time of the draw for the respective qualifying round, the higher value of the two teams in the respective outstanding pairings will be used for the seeding list.

Group stage

From the group stage onwards, all games were centrally marketed by UEFA in order to generate greater media attention and thus increased advertising income.

48 teams from 26 national associations took part in the group stage, 17 teams qualified directly, plus six losing clubs from the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League play-offs and four other losing clubs from the third qualifying round (placement path ) of the UEFA Champions League 2019/20 . Another 21 places were determined in the Europa League qualifying rounds.

The group winners and runners-up qualified for the sixteenth-finals, while those placed third and fourth were eliminated from the competition. If two or more teams were tied after the group matches, the placement was determined by the following criteria:

  1. Number of points in direct comparison
  2. Goal difference in direct comparison
  3. Number of goals in direct comparison
  4. Number of away goals in direct comparison
  5. If, after applying criteria 1-4, two or more teams still occupy the same place in the table, criteria 1-4 are reapplied for these teams. If this does not result in a definitive placement, criteria 6–12 will be applied.
  6. Goal difference from all group matches
  7. higher number of goals scored
  8. higher number of away goals scored
  9. higher number of wins
  10. higher number of away wins
  11. lower number of minus points through yellow and red cards (yellow card 1 minus point, red card 3 minus points, yellow-red card 3 minus points)
  12. Club coefficients

The 48 teams qualified for the group stage were divided into four pots of 12 teams on the basis of their club coefficient (KK), and one team from each pot was drawn into one of the 12 groups (A to L); Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.

The draw took place in Monaco on August 30, 2019 . The games took place from September 19 to December 12, 2019.

Final round

Round of 16

The eight third-placed teams in the Champions League were added to the 24 teams that qualified through the group stage of the Europa League . The draw for the round of 32 took place on December 16, 2019 in Nyon . The group winners from the Europa League as well as the four best group thirds from the Champions League were seeded and initially played away in the first leg; the other teams were drawn to them. Encounters between teams from the same group and the same national association were excluded.

The first legs took place on February 20, the second legs on February 26, 27 and 28, 2020. The second leg between FC Salzburg and Eintracht Frankfurt , initially scheduled for February 27, was postponed to the following day due to a hurricane warning. The second leg between Inter Milan and Ludogorez Razgrad had to be played without a spectator due to the coronavirus epidemic .

Round of 16

From the round of 16 there were no more seeded teams, the first club drawn received home rights in the first leg. The restriction that teams from the same national association are not allowed to compete against each other also dropped. The draw for the round of 16 took place on February 28, 2020 in Nyon. The first legs were scheduled for March 12, the second legs were to be played a week later, on March 19, 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , matches were canceled and spectators were excluded : The second leg between FC Basel and Eintracht Frankfurt was first canceled before the two clubs agreed to play the game and the first leg in Frankfurt. On March 11, 2020, AS Roma announced on Twitter that they had not received a landing permit from the Spanish authorities and therefore could not play the first leg against Sevilla FC . Furthermore, Getafe FC announced that the team would not travel to Milan due to the situation in Italy . A short time later, UEFA officially announced that the two matches had been canceled and that further information on how the games would be played would be available “in due course”. On March 13, 2020, UEFA announced that it would postpone all return legs to a date that has not yet been determined. On June 17, 2020 it was announced that the second legs will be played on August 5 and 6, 2020. Both games, of which the first leg was canceled, were decided in one game.

Newcomers who switch to a club or return from a loan after July 1, 2020 are not eligible to play for these games. For players whose contracts have ended on June 30, 2020, the eligibility to play must be clarified individually between all parties.
