2013–14 UEFA Europa League#Group stage

A total of 194 teams from 53 of the 54 UEFA member associations participated in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League (the exception being Gibraltar, which started participating in the 2014–15 season after being admitted as a UEFA member in May 2013).{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/may/23/gibraltar-uefa-football|title=Gibraltar set to be new kids on the Rock as Uefa votes on its future|work=The Guardian|date=23 May 2013}}{{cite web|url=http://www.insidefutbol.com/2013/05/24/uefa-welcome-gibraltar-to-europes-football-family-as-54th-member/87106/|title=UEFA Welcome Gibraltar To Europe's Football Family As 54th Member|publisher=insidefutbol.com|date=24 May 2013}} The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/competitions/Regulations/01/94/62/40/1946240_DOWNLOAD.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514121404/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/competitions/Regulations/01/94/62/40/1946240_DOWNLOAD.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 May 2013|title=Regulations of the UEFA Europa League 2013/14 |publisher=UEFA|location=Nyon|access-date=1 May 2013 |date=March 2013}}

• Associations 1–6 each had three teams qualify.
• Associations 7–9 each had four teams qualify.
• Associations 10–51 (except Liechtenstein) each had three teams qualify.
• Associations 52–53 each had two teams qualify.
• Liechtenstein had one team qualify (as it organised only a domestic cup and no domestic league).
• The top three associations of the 2012–13 UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking each gained an additional berth.
• Moreover, 33 teams eliminated from the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League were transferred to the Europa League.

The winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League were given an additional entry as title holders if they did not qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their domestic performance. However, this additional entry was not necessary for this season, because the title holders qualified for European competitions through their domestic performance.

For the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2012 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2007–08 to 2011–12.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2012/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120921120310/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2012/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 September 2012|title=Country coefficients 2011/12|publisher=UEFA}}{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method4/crank2012.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2012|publisher=Bert Kassies}}

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:

Since the title holders (Chelsea) qualified for the Champions League through their domestic performance, the group stage spot reserved for the title holders was vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system were made:{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2014/accesslist/index.html |title=2013/14 UEFA Europa League access list |publisher=UEFA |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407032743/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season%3D2014/accesslist/index.html |archive-date= 7 April 2014 }}{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/access2013.html|title=Access list 2013/2014|publisher=Bert Kassies|access-date=22 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130819000652/http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/access2013.html|archive-date=19 August 2013|url-status=dead}}

• The domestic cup winners of association 7 (Russia) were promoted from the play-off round to the group stage.
• The domestic cup winners of association 16 (Cyprus) were promoted from the third qualifying round to the play-off round.
• The domestic cup winners of association 19 (Czech Republic) were promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
• The domestic cup winners of associations 33 (Republic of Ireland) and 34 (Slovenia) were promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

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, either of the following teams qualified for the Europa League:
• The domestic cup runners-up, provided they had not yet qualified for European competitions, qualified for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (with the earliest starting round), with the other Europa League qualifiers moved up one "place".
• Otherwise, 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 the League Cup winners, they always qualified for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (or as the second "lowest-placed" qualifier in cases where the cup runners-up qualified as stated above). 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 league team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions.
• A Fair Play place was taken by the highest-ranked team in the domestic Fair Play table which had not yet qualified for European competitions.

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:{{cite news|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/0250-0c50ff400edf-20d6298f4751-1000--2013-14-uefa-europa-league-list-of-participants/|title=2013/14 UEFA Europa League list of participants|publisher=UEFA}}{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/qual2013.html|title=Qualification for European Cup Football 2013/2014|publisher=Bert Kassies|access-date=25 March 2012|archive-date=31 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231212108/http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/qual2013.html|url-status=dead}}

The draw for the group stage was held in Monaco on 30 August 2013.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/020c-0e85e8368db5-b422d900a03d-1000--former-winners-learn-group-stage-fates/|title=Former winners learn group stage fates|publisher=UEFA|date=30 August 2013}} Prior to the draw, the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld UEFA's ban on Fenerbahce (which lost in the Champions League play-off round) and Beşiktaş, meaning the two clubs were banned from the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. UEFA decided to replace Beşiktaş in the Europa League group stage with Tromsø, who were eliminated by Beşiktaş in the play-off round, while a draw was held to select a team to replace Fenerbahçe among the teams eliminated in the play-off round, and was won by APOEL.

The 48 teams were allocated into four pots based on their 2013 UEFA club coefficients.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/020c-0e85e727f111-ec0968e5268f-1000--group-contenders-ready-for-draw/|title=Group contenders ready for draw|publisher=UEFA|date=30 August 2013|access-date=24 January 2015}} They were drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matchdays were 19 September, 3 October, 24 October, 7 November, 28 November, and 12 December 2013. The group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 32, where they were joined by the 8 third-placed teams from the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage.

A total of 27 associations were represented in the group stage. This was also the first time a team from Kazakhstan qualified for group stage. Swansea City, Kuban Krasnodar, Sankt Gallen, Ludogorets, Chornomorets Odesa, Esbjerg, Elfsborg, Zulte Waregem, Wigan Athletic, Paços de Ferreira, Pandurii Târgu Jiu, Eintracht Frankfurt, APOEL, Thun, Slovan Liberec, SC Freiburg, Estoril, Real Betis, Vitória de Guimarães, Rijeka, Trabzonspor, Apollon Limassol, Tromsø and Shakhter Karagandy all made their debut in UEFA Europa League group stage (although Elfsborg, Zulte Waregem, Eintracht Frankfurt, Slovan Liberec, Vitória de Guimarães and Tromsø played already in UEFA Cup as well as Thun, Real Betis, Trabzonspor already disputed the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League knockout stage).

{{main|2013–14 UEFA Europa League knockout phase}}

In the knockout phase, teams played against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

• In the draw for the round of 32, the twelve group winners and the four third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage with the better group records were seeded, and the twelve group runners-up and the other four third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
• In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other.
