The 2024–25 UEFA Europa League is the 54th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 16th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
This is the first season played under a new format, which replaced the 32-team group stage with a 36-team league phase.{{cite news |title=UEFA approves final format and access list for its club competitions as of the 2024/25 season |website=UEFA |date=10 May 2022 |url=https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/mediareleasesnews-media/news/0275-151c779310c3-b92bbf0d24f9-1000--uefa-approves-final-format-and-access-list-for-its-club-competico/}} This increases the total number of matches played in the competition (excluding qualifying rounds) from 141 to 189. The new format also does not allow teams to transfer from the Champions League league or knockout phase to the Europa League knockout phase, and thus Europa League winners (Atalanta in the 2023–24 edition) can no longer defend their title as the winner of the Europa League automatically qualifies for the Champions League league phase.
The final will be played on 21 May 2025 at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.{{cite news |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/026b-12c542441355-1c2040c5e54b-1000/ |title=Venues appointed for club competition finals |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=16 July 2021 |access-date=16 July 2021}} The winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League will automatically qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League league phase and earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.
Association team allocation
A total of 76 teams from 41 of the 55 UEFA member associations are participating in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League. Among them, 32 associations had teams directly qualifying for the Europa League, while for the other 23 associations that did not have any teams directly qualifying, 9 of them had teams playing after being transferred from the Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web |url=https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-Europa-League-2024/25-Online |title=Regulations of the UEFA Europa League, 2024/25 Season |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|year=2024 |access-date=4 April 2024}}
- The title holders of the Europa Conference League were given an entry in the Europa League (if they did not qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via league position).
- Associations 1–12 each have two teams.
- Associations 13–33 (except Russia{{Cref2|Note RUS}}) each have one team.
- 31 teams eliminated from the 2024–25 Champions League were transferred to the Europa League.
=Association ranking=
For the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2023 UEFA association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2018–19 to 2022–23.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/country/#/yr/2023 |title=Association coefficients 2022/23 |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |access-date=1 June 2023}}
Apart from the allocation based on the association 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|(UECL)}} – Additional berth for 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League title holders

The information here reflects the ongoing suspension of Russia in European football, and so the following changes to the default access were made:
- The cup winners of association 16 (Norway) entered the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.
As the Europa League title holders (Atalanta) qualified for the Champions League via their domestic league's standard berth allocation, the following changes to the default access list were made:
- The cup winners of associations 17 to 21 (except Russia){{Cref2|Note RUS}} (Denmark, Croatia, Greece and Israel) entered the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.
=Teams=
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:
- UECL: Europa Conference League title holders
- CW: Cup winners
- 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.: League position of the previous season
- UCL: Transferred from the Champions League
- CH/LP PO: Losers from the play-off round (Champions/League path)
- CH/LP Q3: Losers from the third qualifying round (Champions/League path)
- CH/LP Q2: Losers from the second qualifying round (Champions/League path)
The third qualifying round was divided into Champions Path (CH) and Main Path (MP).

The league phase draw for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League took place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 30 August 2024, 13:00 CEST.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/draws/2025/2001893/ |title=UEFA Europa League: League phase draw |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |access-date=26 August 2024}}{{cite web |url=https://www.grimaldiforum.com/en/events-schedule-monaco/uefa-men-s-club-competition-season-kick-off |title=UEFA: Men's Club Competition Season Kick-Off |publisher=Grimaldi Forum |access-date=27 August 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240827170248/https://www.grimaldiforum.com/en/events-schedule-monaco/uefa-men-s-club-competition-season-kick-off |archive-date=27 August 2024}} The 36 teams were divided into four pots of nine teams each based on their UEFA club coefficient.
The 36 teams were manually drawn and then automated software digitally drew their eight different 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 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.{{cite news|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/028f-1b7f80216368-4c26e95cc15b-1000/|title=UEFA Club Competitions 2024/25 onwards: new league phase draw procedures explained|publisher=UEFA|date=31 July 2024|access-date=31 July 2024}}{{cite news |url=https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-Europa-League-2024/25/Article-16-Draw-system-league-phase-Online |title=UEFA Documents – Article 16 Draw system – league phase |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |access-date=1 August 2024 }}
