The fixture dates for the new-look Europa League have been confirmed ahead of the 2024/25 season.
The draw for the 36-team league phase was made on Friday afternoon and threw up a number of intriguing ties, Manchester United facing Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce and Rangers, who also take on Tottenham Hotspur.
Changes to the format for European club competitions, designed to make the first phase more exciting and unpredictable, will see teams play eight fixtures against eight different rival clubs, as opposed to playing three teams both home and away in the old group stage.
The top eight sides in the league after the competition’s first phase will progress directly to the last-16.
Teams placed ninth to 24th will have to negotiate a play-off round, while teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated from all European competition.
