The UEFA Europa League, usually known simply as the Europa League, is an annual club football competition organised since 1971 by the Union of European Football Associations for eligible European clubs. It is the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA Champions League and above the UEFA Conference League.
Introduced in 1971 as the UEFA Cup, it replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. A group stage was added ahead of the knockout phase in the 2004–05 season. The competition took its current name in 2009, following a format change that included a merger with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, expanding the group stage and altering qualification. In 2024–25, the group stage was replaced by a 36-team league phase.
Winners of the UEFA Europa League qualify for the following season's UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Champions League. They have also occasionally played matches against the winners of the CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana in the UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge, most recently in 2023.
Clubs from Spain have the most wins, with 14, followed by England with 11 and Italy with 10. The most successful club in the competition is Sevilla, with seven titles.
