How Many Premier League Teams Qualify for Europe?
For the 2025/26 European competitions, six English teams will qualify for the Champions League. This includes the top five Premier League finishers and one of the English winners of the UEFA Europa League.
Champions League
– Top 5 Premier League teams (due to England’s strong UEFA coefficient)
– Europa League winner
Europa League
– FA Cup winner
– 6th place in the Premier League
Europa Conference League
– Carabao Cup winner (7th place in the league when Newcastle qualifies for the Champions League or Europa League or stays the same if in 7th themselves.
Who Has Already Secured European Football?
As it stands, the following teams have secured European football for next season:
– Liverpool – Champions League (via league position)
– Arsenal – Champions League (via league position)
– Crystal Palace – Europa League (via FA Cup win)
– Newcastle United – Europa Conference League (via Carabao Cup win)
– Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur – Champions League (if they win the Europa League)
What Happens If Chelsea Win the Conference League?
Chelsea are in the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League. If they win, they will qualify for the Europa League. However, if they also finish in a European league position, their Conference League qualification route is discarded.
Key Points:
– If Chelsea finish in the top 5, they go to the Champions League. Their Europa League spot from the Conference League win is not passed down.
– If Chelsea finish 5th or 6th, they still go to the Europa League via the Conference League win. Again, their league-based spot is not passed down.
UEFA rules state that a team qualifying through multiple routes only takes the highest-ranking one, and the other is not reassigned.
What If Newcastle Finish in the Top 5?
Newcastle have already secured a place in the Europa Conference League by winning the Carabao Cup. If they finish in the top 5 and qualify for the Champions League or in a Europa League place, their Conference League spot will be passed down to the next-highest placed Premier League team not already qualified for Europe.
This is one of the few scenarios where an extra team could benefit from a cup winner’s league performance and means that the top 7 in the League at guaranteed European Football next season. Consider Premier League packages to experience such thrilling conclusions.
