A total of 57 teams from 33 of the 55
UEFA member associations participated in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League. Among them, 15 associations had teams directly qualifying for the Europa League, while for the other 40 associations that did not have any teams directly qualifying, 18 of them had teams playing after being transferred from the Champions League (the only member associations which could not have a participant were
Russia and
Liechtenstein, which did not organise a domestic league, and could only enter their cup winner into the
UEFA Europa Conference League given their association ranking). The association ranking based on the
UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: • The title holders of the UEFA Europa Conference League were given an entry in the Europa League (as they did not qualify for the Champions League group stage). • Associations 1–5 each had two teams qualify. • Associations 6–7 and 9–15 each had one team qualify. • 36 teams eliminated from the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League were transferred to the Europa League.
Association ranking For the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2021
UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2016–17 to 2020–21. Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have had additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below: • – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League • – Additional berth for UEFA Europa Conference League title holders
Distribution The following is the access list for this season. Due to the suspension of Russia for the 2022–23 European season, the following changes to the access list were made: • The cup winners of associations 13 (Turkey) and 14 (Denmark) enter the play-off round instead of the third qualifying round. • The cup winners of association 16 (Serbia) enter the third qualifying round instead of the Europa Conference League second qualifying round. Since the
Europa Conference League title holders (
Roma) qualified through their league position, the following changes to the access list were made: • The cup winners of association 7 (Netherlands) enter the group stage instead of the play-off round. • The cup winners of association 15 (Cyprus) enter the play-off round instead of the third qualifying round. • The cup winners of association 17 (Czech Republic) enter the third qualifying round instead of the Europa Conference League second qualifying round.
Redistribution rules A Europa League place was vacated when a team qualified for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualified for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place was vacated, it was redistributed within the national association by the following rules: • When the domestic cup winners (considered as the "highest-placed" qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round) also qualified for the Champions League, their Europa League place was vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions qualified for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finished above them in the league moved up one "place". • When the domestic cup winners also qualified for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position was vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions qualified for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finished above them in the league moved up one "place" if possible. • For associations where a Europa League place was reserved for either the League Cup or end-of-season European competition play-offs winners, they always qualified for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier. If the League Cup winners had already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place was taken by the highest-placed team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions.
Teams The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round: • ECL: Europa Conference League title holders • CW: Cup winners • 4th, 5th, etc.: League position of the previous season • Abd-: League positions of abandoned season as determined by the national association; all teams were subject to approval by UEFA • UCL: Transferred from the Champions League • GS: Third-placed teams from the group stage • CH/LP PO: Losers from the play-off round (Champions/League Path) • CH/LP Q3: Losers from the third qualifying round (Champions/League Path) • CH/LP Q2: Losers from the second qualifying round (Champions/League Path) The third qualifying round was divided into Champions Path (
