Europa League draw league phase 2024: This is the new mode
What’s new about the Europa League draw for the league phase?
Instead of a group stage with eight groups of four teams each, all 36 clubs will start in a joint league phase next season. This means that the Europa League phase will be identical to the new Champions League format.
As in the top flight, the teams will be drawn against a total of eight opponents in the Europa League draw. There will be four home and four away games for each team.
This change will of course also be reflected in the 2024 Europa League draw.
The pots for the 2024 Europa League draw will be divided according to the UEFA coefficient, which divides the 36 teams into four pots of nine teams each. Each team club is drawn to play two opponents from each pot.
Each participating club is drawn once by hand, after which a special software program is used to randomly determine the remaining opponents from the individual pots and who they will play at home and who they will play away.
The 4 pots of the Europa League phase draw 2024
The 36 teams that have qualified for the Europa League phase will be divided into four pots before the draw. This division is based on the UEFA coefficient, a kind of “ranking list” of the European soccer association.

EL draw 2024 league phase: The opponents of the German clubs
With Eintracht Frankfurt and TSG Hoffenheim, two German clubs are in the 2024 Europa League draw on Friday.
Who the German opponents will be in the new league phase will be decided in the draw
Due to the new EL draw model, there could be some explosive matches. Here are a few possible scenarios for Eintracht and Hoffenheim
The possible opponents of Frankfurt and Hoffenheim
Frankfurt Eintracht is in pot 1, TSG Hoffenheim will be in pot 4.
But unlike in previous years, this division is no longer a major advantage or disadvantage in the new Europa League phase draw, as everyone gets two opponents from their own draw pot anyway.
This means that Eintracht could be drawn against Manchester United and AS Roma from pot 1, for example. Pot 2 would feature Olympiakos Piraeus, the reigning winners of the Conference League.
Pot 3 would feature well-known opponents such as Dynamo Kiev and Galatasaray Istanbul (Turkish champions), while the fourth pot would feature Athletic Bilbao (Spanish cup winners), Nice and Twente Enschede.
This possible constellation also applies to TSG Hoffenheim for the 2024 Europa League draw
