Chelsea Conference League spot confirmed, including draw date and time.

 Manchester United’s victory over Manchester City in Saturday’s FA Cup final means that Chelsea will play in the 2024/25 edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League which guaranteed them a spot in Europe next season.

If City had beaten United on Saturday then Chelsea would have qualified for the UEFA Europa League.

But United – who finished eighth in the Premier League – took that Europa League spot as FA Cup winners thanks to a 2-1 win at Wembley, meaning that Chelsea must instead settle for a place in Europe’s no.3 club tournament.

Chelsea will enter the Conference League in the play-off round alongside the likes of Lens, Real Betis and Hoffenheim.

St Mirren, AEK Athens, Legia Warsaw, Cliftonville and St Patrick’s Athletic will also be in next season’s Conference League but will start their journey earlier in the qualifying rounds.

Chelsea have never previously competed in the Conference League – which has only been going since 2021.

If the Blues go all the way in next season’s tournament and triumph in the final in Wroclaw then they will become the first club ever to win the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.


PLAY OFF SCHEDULE: 

This will be the first time we have competed in the competition that was initially contested in the 2021/22 season. Qualification for the Conference League marks our return to European football after a one-year absence and means next season will be our 32nd European campaign in club history.

The Blues will enter the tournament at the play-off round stage, where victory over a two-legged tie would secure a place in the league stage. The play-off round fixtures will take place on 22 and 29 August this year and we will find out our opponents on 5 August when the draw is made.

Should Chelsea go all the way and reach the final, it will be held in Poland’s Stadion Wroclaw, on 28 May 2025.

Schedule: 

5th August-  UECL Play-off draw
22nd August- UECL Play-Off 1st Leg
29th August- Play-Off 2nd Leg
30th August- Group Stage Draw
MD1- 3rd October

MD5- 12th December
MD6- 19th December
Final- 28th May 2025 -Stadion Wrocław
