Europa League and Conference League 2026/27 draws set for Monte Carlo on August 28

The 2026/27 UEFA Europa League and Conference League league-phase draws will take place on Friday, August 28 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo, Monaco, with the Europa League draw scheduled to begin at 12pm UK time.

Both draws will be held back-to-back on the same afternoon, a format UEFA has maintained as tradition for its season-opening ceremonies. The Conference League draw will follow immediately after the Europa League, once the final participating clubs are confirmed from Thursday night’s play-off second legs.

The Grimaldi Forum is a familiar setting for UEFA’s draw events, having hosted numerous Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League ceremonies over the years. It also served as the venue for the Champions League league-phase draw, which took place on Thursday evening.

For fans who want to follow the draws online, UEFA is streaming both events live and free of charge on UEFA.com and the official UEFA YouTube channel, making them accessible to supporters worldwide without a subscription.

There is considerable British interest in both competitions heading into the new season, with several Premier League and EFL clubs among the sides awaiting their fate in the draw.
