How to buy UEFA Europa League match tickets?

Tickets for individual matches are sold directly by the competing clubs.

Supporters should visit the official ticketing portal of the host club for the fixture they wish to attend. For high-profile encounters, official club membership is often required to access primary ticket drops.

When official allocations sell out, secondary marketplaces like LiveFootballTickets provide fan-to-fan resale options.

The top-8 sides in the league automatically qualify for the last-16 stage of the knockouts. Those sides who finish 9th to 24th compete in a two-legged play-off round phase, with the winning 8 teams joining the automatic qualifiers in the last-16. The competition then carries on in a traditional knockout format to the Final.
