What will the Conference League 2024 2025 table look like? The format revolution desired by UEFA it led to innovations not only in the first phase which started in October with the disappearance of the classic groups, but also in the direct elimination draw.
Starting from the 2024/25 season, in fact, the revolution in the format of the third European club competition will also affect the long-awaited draws, which will be significantly reduced. They will remain that for the first phase (already on stage to define the six opponents of each team) and a second which will only serve to define some intersections and then offer a complete scoreboard until the end of the event.
So how will the new Conference League 2024 2025 table be formed?
Conference League 2024 2025 scoreboard: how it works
At the end of the group stage, in each of the competitions the teams classified from 1st to 8th position will qualify directly for the round of 16. The teams from 9th to 16th place will face the teams from 17th to 24th in the knockout play-offs, to qualify for the round of 16. Clubs placed 25th or lower will be eliminated from all UEFA club competitions.
The direct elimination phase will also change radically. As the UEFA, «per strengthen the synergy between the championship and knockout phases and to provide greater sporting incentives to the single round phase, the knockout phase pairings will be partly determined by the championship ranking».
Additionally, the following system will apply seeded heads:
- For the knockout stage play-offs, the teams that will finish from 9th to 16th place in the championship phase they will be seeded and those who finish dal 17° al 24° they will not be seeded. The seeded teams will in principle play the return match at home;
- For the round of 16, the ranked teams from 1st to 8th place in the championship phase they will be seeded and will play against the winners of the round of 16 play-offs, who will not be seeded. The seeded teams will in principle play the return match at home;
- A bracket will be formed that will guide the knockout stage pairings from the playoffs through to the semi-finals. Teams ranked 1 to 8 will be paired based on their position in the championship stage and divided between the two opposite sides of the table by drawing lots.
