The Europa League is the second-biggest club competition in European soccer. Launched in 1971 as the UEFA Cup, it has been held on an annual basis ever since and was rebranded as the Europa League in 2009.

The tournament begins with a group stage featuring 32 teams, who book their places either through the qualifying rounds or by securing an automatic spot via their performance in their domestic league or cup competitions.

The winner of each group goes straight through to the round of 16, while the runners-up and eight Champions League dropouts take part in the knockout round play-offs. 

The winners of those play-offs advance to the round of 16, which is followed by two-legged quarter-finals and semi-finals, and then the main event.

Liverpool are the favorites to win the Europa League 2023/24 with the best online sportsbooks. Jurgen Klopp’s side have reached three Champions League finals in recent years, so it is no surprise they are widely fancied to triumph in the continent’s junior competition.

Their fellow English side Brighton & Hove Albion are worth watching too. The Seagulls have been superb domestically over the last couple of seasons, but we will have to see if a lack of experience at this level counts against them.

Roma will be looking to go one better after their near-miss last time out, while Real Betis could be strong contenders too. The dark horses include Villarreal, Atalanta, and West Ham United, while Bayer Leverkusen looks undervalued at present.

Remember, eight teams will join the Europa League from the Champions League, so the tournament will not necessarily be won by any of the teams above.

Who Won the Europa League 2022/23?

Roma finished as runners-up in their Europa League group, behind Real Betis but ahead of Ludogorets Razgrad and HJK. In the knockout phase, they got the better of Red Bull Salzburg, Real Sociedad, Feyenoord, and Bayer Leverkusen.
