Europa League Final 2025. About the Championship

The Europa League final 2025 represents the culmination of one of UEFA’s most competitive and widely followed tournaments. Often seen as the proving ground for rising clubs and an alternative path to the Champions League, the Europa League continues to offer high-stakes football across Europe.

For the 2024/25 season, the tournament began on 9 July 2024 and will run until the final on 31 May 2025, hosted at the Allianz Arena in Munich. A total of 36 teams qualified for the group stage, with 81 clubs participating overall through various stages of qualification. The format includes a league phase (adopted in place of the previous group stage format), followed by the knockouts, leading to the final match.

The championship consists of three stages: qualification, league phase, and play-offs. UEFA associations ranked 1–5 send four teams, while associations ranked 6–15 send two. All matches are held midweek, typically on Thursdays. Russian clubs are still suspended from the 2024/25 edition.
