2017–18 UEFA Europa League#Group J

A total of 190 teams from all 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/mediaservices/newsid=2359883.html|title=Football Federation of Kosovo joins UEFA|publisher=UEFA|date=3 May 2016|access-date=3 May 2016|archive-date=16 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916135356/http://www.uefa.org/mediaservices/newsid=2359883.html|url-status=dead}} 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/uefaorg/Regulations/02/46/71/42/2467142_DOWNLOAD.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170516192032/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/46/71/42/2467142_DOWNLOAD.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 16, 2017|title=Regulations of the UEFA Europa League 2017/18 Season|publisher=UEFA|date=4 April 2017}}

• Associations 1–51 (except Liechtenstein) each had three teams qualify.
• As the winners of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League, Manchester United qualified for the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League; the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League berth they would otherwise have earned for finishing 6th in the 2016–17 Premier League was vacated and not passed to another English team.
• Associations 52–54 each had two teams qualify.
• Liechtenstein and Kosovo (association 55) each had one team qualify (Liechtenstein organised only a domestic cup and no domestic league; Kosovo as per decision by the UEFA Executive Committee).
• Moreover, 33 teams eliminated from the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League were transferred to the Europa League.

Starting from this season, Gibraltar were granted two spots instead of one in the Europa League.{{cite web|url=http://www.gibraltarfa.com/news/20-09-2016/Gibraltar-gains-an-additional-spot-in-the-europa-league|title=Gibraltar gains an additional spot in the Europa League|publisher=Gibraltar Football Association|date=20 September 2016|access-date=20 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204123859/http://www.gibraltarfa.com/news/20-09-2016/Gibraltar-gains-an-additional-spot-in-the-europa-league|archive-date=4 February 2017|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}} Kosovo, who became a UEFA member on 3 May 2016, made their debut in the UEFA Europa League.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/mediaservices/newsid=2365958.html|title=Timeline for UEFA Presidential elections decided|publisher=UEFA|date=18 May 2016|access-date=21 December 2016|archive-date=22 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160722145008/http://www.uefa.org/mediaservices/newsid=2365958.html|url-status=dead}}

For the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2016 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2011–12 to 2015–16.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2016/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140928205956/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2016/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 28, 2014|title=Country coefficients 2015/16|publisher=UEFA}}{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method4/crank2016.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2016|publisher=Bert Kassies |access-date=28 May 2016}}

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

• {{small|(UCL)}} – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
• {{small|(UEL)}} – Vacated berth due to UEFA Europa League title holders playing in UEFA Champions League

In the default access list, Manchester United entered the group stage (as the sixth-placed team of the 2016–17 Premier League).{{cite web|url=http://kassiesa.net/uefafiles/2017-18-uefa-access-list.pdf|title=Preliminary Access List 2017/18|publisher=RFEF|website=Bert Kassies}} However, since they qualified for the Champions League as the Europa League title holders, the spot which they qualified for in the Europa League group stage was vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system were made:{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0250-0c51194dcb5a-ee474cb68dd1-1000--the-2017-18-champions-league-and-europa-league-access-list/|title=The 2017/18 Champions League and Europa League access list|publisher=UEFA|date=26 May 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://kassiesa.net/uefafiles/2015-18-uefa-access-list-explanations.pdf|title=UEFA Access List 2015/18 with explanations|publisher=Bert Kassies}}{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/access2017.html|title=Access list 2017/2018|publisher=Bert Kassies|access-date=21 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170602084031/http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/access2017.html|archive-date=2 June 2017|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/023c-0e97872dab5d-245998897f3a-1000--the-2017-18-europa-league-group-stage-as-it-stands/|title=The 2017/18 Europa League group stage as it stands|publisher=UEFA|date=30 May 2017}}

• The domestic cup winners of association 13 (Czech Republic) are promoted from the third qualifying round to the group stage.
• The domestic cup winners of association 18 (Poland) are promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
• The domestic cup winners of associations 25 (Scotland) and 26 (Azerbaijan) are 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 (regulations Articles 3.03 and 3.04):

• 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 moving 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 moving 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.

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/qual2017.html|title=Qualification for European Cup Football 2017/2018|publisher=Bert Kassies|access-date=2016-12-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170602083314/http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/qual2017.html|archive-date=2017-06-02|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/023c-0e974128b01c-bbfaf37af3b8-1000--who-is-in-this-season-s-uefa-europa-league/|title=Who is in this season's UEFA Europa League?|publisher=UEFA|date=13 July 2017}}

The draw for the group stage was held on 25 August 2017, 13:00 CEST, at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/draws/2018/2000890/|title=Group stage draw|publisher=UEFA}} The 48 teams were drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on their 2017 UEFA club coefficients.

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.

{{main|2017–18 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.
