The 2023/24 UEFA Europa League offers teams from across the continent the chance to win European silverware this season.
There is extra Premier League interest in the tournament with English trio Liverpool, West Ham and Brighton & Hove Albion all reaching the knockout stages.
Liverpool have made a strong return to the competition, in their first appearance since 2016, with West Ham’s UEFA Europa Conference League title moving them into the Europa League, alongside European debutants Brighton.
The group stage ended in December, and the competition restarts on February 14, 2024, with sides from across Europe dreaming of glory at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on May 22, 2024.

How does the UEFA Europa League work?
For the group stages, 32 qualified teams were divided into eight groups of four teams each, with the top two sides in each group in a position to qualify for the knockout stages.
Group winners automatically qualified for the Round of 16 knockout round and runners-up compete in playoffs against teams dropping down from the UEFA Champions League.

How does the 2023/24 Europa League group stage work?
The final group standings were determined first by total points, and then by goal difference. The group winners progressed automatically to the knockout round, while those who finished second entered a playoff round against eight teams dropping out of the Champions League after finishing third in their group.
Those who finished third in their Europa League group go into a playoff round to enter the Europa Conference League. The teams that finished bottom of the group are out of European competition for the rest of the season.
How does the 2023/24 Europa League knockout stage work?
The eight group winners will be the seeded teams for the Europa League Round of 16. They will be drawn against the winners of the eight playoff ties, which begin on March 7, 2024.
At this point, the Europa League becomes a straightforward knockout competition. The team that wins via aggregate score in the two-legged Round of 16 ties progress to the quarterfinals — another two-legged affair — which take place on April 11 and 18.
The quarterfinal winners go on to the semifinals on May 2 and 9, from which two teams will reach the final.
If scores are level after both legs, extra-time and then penalties if needed, will decide the winner.
