2024–25 UEFA Europa League league phase

Each team played eight matches, four at home and four away, against eight different opponents, with all 36 teams ranked in a single league table. Teams were separated into four pots based on their 2024 UEFA club coefficients, and each team played two teams from each of the four pots – one at home and one away. The top eight ranked teams received a bye to the round of 16. The teams ranked from 9th to 24th contested the knockout phase play-offs, with the teams ranked from 9th to 16th seeded for the draw. Teams ranked from 25th to 36th were eliminated from all competitions, with no access to the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League. Tiebreakers Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were equal on points upon completion of the league phase, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine their rankings: • Goal difference; • Goals scored; • Away goals scored; • Wins; • Away wins; • Higher number of points obtained collectively by league phase opponents; • Superior collective goal difference of league phase opponents; • Higher number of goals scored collectively by league phase opponents; • Lower disciplinary points total (direct red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points); • UEFA club coefficient. During the league phase, criteria 1 to 5 were used to rank teams who had equal number of points. Should any teams have been equal on points and tied on the first five criteria, they were considered equal in position and sorted alphabetically. Criteria 6 to 10 was only used to break ties upon completion of all matches. ==Teams and seeding==

The 36 teams were divided into four pots of nine teams each, with teams allocated to pots based on their 2024 UEFA club coefficients. The participants included: • 13 teams which entered at this stage • 12 winners of the play-off round • 7 losers of the Champions League play-off round (5 from the Champions Path, 2 from the League Path) • 4 losers of the Champions League third qualifying round (League Path) Notes ==Draw==

The draw for the league phase pairings was held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 30 August 2024, 13:00 CEST. All 36 teams were manually drawn using physical balls. For every team manually drawn, a guest on stage pressed the button for the automated software to digitally draw their opponents at random, determining which of their matches were at home and which ones away. Each team faced two opponents from each of the four pots, one of which they faced at home and one away. Teams could not face opponents from their own association, and could only be drawn against a maximum of two sides from the same association. The draw started with Pot 1, assigning opponents to all teams, one after the other, and continued with the other pots in ascending order until all teams were assigned their opponents. The switch to a primarily computer-based draw was made due to issues with the complexity and duration required by a manual draw. The draw software, developed by AE Live, guaranteed total randomness within the framework of the draw conditions and prevented any deadlock situations. The software was reviewed by external auditor Ernst & Young, which also provided review and control of the manual and digital draw operations on-site. ==League phase table==
