Distribution

The following is the access list for this season.[5] In the default access list, the title holders of the Europa Conference League qualify for the Europa League group stage.

Due to the suspension of Russia for the 2022–23 European season, and since some changes have been made in the Europa League access list following the qualification of the Europa Conference League title holders to the Europa League group stage, the following changes to the access list have been made:

  • The cup winners of associations 16 (Serbia) and 17 (Czech Republic) enter the Europa League instead of the second qualifying round.
  • The cup winners of associations 18 to 20 (Croatia, Switzerland and Greece) enter the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round.[needs update]
  • The cup winners of associations 30 to 41 (Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Ireland, North Macedonia, Armenia, Latvia and Albania) enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.

Morover:

  • As only 18 out of the planned 20 clubs arrived from the Champions League first qualifying round, two of these teams received a bye to the UECL third qualifying round.

Notes

  1. ^
    Champions League (UCL Q1): Two of the Champions League first qualifying round losers will be drawn to receive byes to the third qualifying round (Champions Path), as two fewer losers were transferred to the second qualifying round (Champions Path), due to Champions League group stage berths vacated following the UCL Title Holders qualifying via league position and the suspension of Russia from the 2022–23 European season.
  2. ^
    Armenia (ARM): Noravank would have qualified for the Europa Conference League second qualifying round as the winners of the 2021–22 Armenian Cup, but failed to obtain a UEFA license. As a result, the berth reserved for the second qualifying round was given to the second-placed team of the 2021–22 Armenian Premier League, Ararat-Armenia, who originally entered the first qualifying round, and the berth reserved for the first qualifying round was given to the fourth-placed team, Ararat Yerevan.[7]
  3. ^
    Liechtenstein (LIE): The seven teams affiliated with the Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV) all play in the Swiss football league system. The only competition organised by the LFV is the Liechtenstein Football Cup – the winners of which qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League.
  4. ^
    Russia (RUS): On 28 February 2022, Russian football clubs and national teams were suspended from FIFA and UEFA competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[8] On 2 May 2022, UEFA confirmed that Russian clubs would be excluded from the 2022–23 UEFA competitions.[9]
  5. ^
    Ukraine (UKR): The 2021–22 Ukrainian Premier League was abandoned due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The fourth and fifth-placed teams of the league at the time of the abandonment (Zorya Luhansk and Vorskla Poltava) were selected to play in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League by the Ukrainian Association of Football.

Schedule

The schedule of the competition is as follows. Matches are scheduled for Thursdays apart from the final, which takes place on a Wednesday, though exceptionally can take place on Tuesdays or Wednesdays due to scheduling conflicts (especially featuring teams from associations where there are few approved stadiums, such as Gibraltar and Wales). Scheduled kick-off times starting from the group stage are 18:45 and 21:00 CEST/CET, though exceptionally can take place at 16:30 due to geographical reasons.[10]

As the 2022 FIFA World Cup takes place in Qatar between 20 November and 18 December 2022, the group stage will commence in the first week of September 2022 and conclude in the first week of November 2022 to make way for the World Cup.

The draws for the qualifying round start at 13:00 or 14:00 CEST/CET and will be held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[11] The group stage draw will take place in Istanbul, Turkey.[12]

The draw for the group stage was held on 26 August 2022. The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots, each of eight teams, based on their 2022 UEFA club coefficients (CC).[14] Teams from the same association and, for political reasons, teams from Serbia and Kosovo could not be drawn into the same group.

All teams besides AZ, Basel, CFR Cluj, Gent, Partizan, Slavia Prague and Slovan Bratislava, who competed in last season's group stage, will make their debut appearances in the group stage. Ballkani, Djurgårdens IF, Dnipro-1, Pyunik, RFS, Silkeborg, Slovácko, Vaduz and Žalgiris will make their debut appearances in a UEFA competition group stage. Ballkani, Vaduz and Žalgiris are the first teams from Kosovo, Liechtenstein and Lithuania, respectively, to play in a UEFA competition group stage.

A total of 28 national associations are represented in the group stage.
