Conference League: News, Fixtures & How It Works

Looking for a quick rundown on the UEFA Conference League? You’re in the right spot. This guide gives you the basics, the latest scores and a few tips on catching every game live.

How the Competition Works

The Conference League sits below the Champions League and Europa League. It starts with a qualification round, then a group stage of eight groups with four teams each. The top two from every group move on to the knockout rounds, where they face the Europa League drop‑outs. From there it’s straight‑up two‑leg ties until the final, which is a single match at a pre‑selected stadium.

Because the tournament includes clubs from many countries, you’ll see a mix of big‑name sides and smaller teams making a splash. That’s what makes it fun – you never know which underdog will pull off a surprise.

Latest News and What to Watch

Round 2 just wrapped up, and a few teams have already secured a spot in the round of 16. Dutch side Feyenoord and English outfit West Ham United both showed why they belong in the competition, winning their groups with comfortable margins. On the other side, clubs like F.C. Rosenborg and Viktoria Plzeň are fighting for the last knockout places, so expect tight games in the next matchdays.

One storyline to keep an eye on is the rise of younger players. The Conference League gives them a stage to shine, and several teenagers have already grabbed headlines with goals and assists. If you’re tracking future stars, the next few weeks will be worth watching.

Want to watch the games? Most matches are streamed live on the official UEFA platform, and many national broadcasters pick up highlights. Check your local sports channel for free‑to‑air options, or consider a short‑term streaming subscription if you want every match in real time.

Finally, don’t miss the knockout‑round draw. It’s usually a live event with pundits breaking down possible match‑ups. Knowing the draw ahead of time helps you plan which games to prioritize, especially if you’re juggling work or other commitments.
