2019–20 UEFA Europa League#Squad of the season

A total of 213 teams from all 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League. 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/02/60/88/40/2608840_DOWNLOAD.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190912201329/https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/60/88/40/2608840_DOWNLOAD.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 12, 2019|title=Regulations of the UEFA Europa League 2019/20|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations}}

• Associations 1–51 (except Liechtenstein) each had three teams qualify.
• 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).{{cite news|date=18 May 2016|title=Timeline for UEFA Presidential elections decided|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/022d-0f8e2d4df3f6-864abba0dd4c-1000--timeline-for-uefa-presidential-elections-decided/|access-date=28 February 2018}}
• Moreover, 55 teams eliminated from the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League were transferred to the Europa League (default number was 57, but 2 fewer teams competed in the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League).

For the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2018 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2013–14 to 2017–18.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/#/yr/2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017043203/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/#/yr/2018 |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 17, 2013 |title=Country coefficients 2017/18 |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=10 August 2018 |access-date=10 August 2018}}

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

The following is the access list for this season.{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0242-0e16a85014cb-5ffe48223b95-1000--champions-league-and-europa-league-changes-next-season/ |title=Champions League and Europa League changes next season |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=27 February 2018 |access-date=27 February 2018}}

Changes were made to the default access list, if any of the teams that qualified for the Europa League via their domestic competitions also qualified for the Champions League as the Champions League or Europa League title holders, or if there were fewer teams transferred from the Champions League due to changes in the Champions League access list. In any case where a spot in the Europa League was vacated, cup winners of the highest-ranked associations in earlier rounds were promoted accordingly.

• In the default access list, originally 17 losers from the Champions League first qualifying round were transferred to the Europa League second qualifying round (Champions Path). However, since the Champions League title holders (Liverpool) qualified for the Champions League group stage via their domestic league, only 16 losers from the Champions League first qualifying round were transferred to the Europa League second qualifying round (Champions Path). As a result, only 19 teams entered the Champions Path second qualifying round (one of the losers from the Champions League first qualifying round would be drawn to receive a bye to the third qualifying round).
• In the default access list, originally three losers from the Champions League second qualifying round (League Path) were transferred to the Europa League third qualifying round (Main Path). However, since the Europa League title holders (Chelsea) qualified for the Champions League group stage via their domestic league, only two losers from the Champions League second qualifying round (League Path) were transferred to the Europa League third qualifying round (Main Path). As a result, the following changes to the access list were made:
• The cup winners of association 18 (Israel) entered the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round.
• The cup winners of association 25 (Serbia) entered the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.
• The cup winners of associations 50 (Wales) and 51 (Faroe Islands) entered the first qualifying round instead of the preliminary 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, 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:

• CW: Cup winners
• 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc.: League position
• LC: League Cup winners
• RW: Regular season winners
• PW: End-of-season Europa League play-offs winners
• UCL: Transferred from the Champions League
• GS: Third-placed teams from the group stage
• PO: Losers from the play-off round
• Q3: Losers from the third qualifying round
• Q2: Losers from the second qualifying round
• Q1: Losers from the first qualifying round
• PR: Losers from the preliminary round (F: final; SF: semi-finals)

One team not playing a national top division took part in the competition; Vaduz (representing Liechtenstein) played in 2019–20 Swiss Challenge League, which is Switzerland's 2nd tier.

The schedule of the competition was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, unless stated otherwise).{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/024d-0e995882024f-5f10c0b9f2fe-1000--2019-20-europa-league-match-and-draw-calendar/|title=2019/20 Europa League match and draw calendar|publisher=UEFA|date=14 January 2019}} Matches could also be played on Tuesdays or Wednesdays instead of the regular Thursdays due to scheduling conflicts.

The competition was suspended on 17 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.{{cite news|date=17 March 2020|title=UEFA postpones EURO 2020 by 12 months|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/025b-0f8e76aef315-8506a9de10aa-1000--uefa-postpones-euro-2020-by-12-months/|access-date=17 March 2020}} A working group was set up by UEFA to decide the calendar of the remainder of the season. On 17 June 2020, UEFA announced the revised schedule for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the competition, to be played in single-leg matches.

The original schedule of the competition, as planned before the pandemic, was as follows.

Due to the varying rates of transmission of COVID-19 across European countries during the time of the Round of 16 first leg ties, different matches were affected in different ways. Because of this severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy at the time, the games involving Inter Milan and A.S.

The draw for the group stage was held on 30 August 2019, 13:00 CEST, at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/draws/2020/2001150/|title=UEFA Europa League group stage draw|publisher=UEFA}} The 48 teams were drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on their 2019 UEFA club coefficients.

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 32, where they were joined by the eight third-placed teams of the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League group stage. The matchdays were 19 September, 3 October, 24 October, 7 November, 28 November, and 12 December 2019.

A total of 26 national associations were represented in the group stage. Espanyol, Ferencváros, LASK, Oleksandriya, Wolfsberger AC and Wolverhampton Wanderers made their debut appearances in the group stage (although Espanyol and Ferencváros had appeared in the UEFA Cup group stage).
