I don’t think Champions League sides drop into it anymore.. the last 16 is the 16 who qualify from the league format. Am telling you now, we can win this.. Villa just won it!

Teams knocked out of champions league qualifiers will drop into Europa but they likely won’t be the strongest teams in Europa.

They do. There’s a separate route for champions league dropout teams.

The Champions Path includes all league champions which do not qualify directly for the league phase, and consists of the following rounds:

  • First qualifying round (28 teams): 28 teams which enter in this round.
  • Second qualifying round (24 teams): 10 teams which enter in this round, and 14 winners of the first qualifying round.
  • Third qualifying round (12 teams): 12 winners of the second qualifying round.
  • Play-off round (10 teams): 4 teams which enter in this round, and 6 winners of the third qualifying round.
The default access list may be altered based on the qualifying teams' 2026
