2025/26 access list, calendar, qualified teams, regulations

In Greece AEK and Olympiakos have secured top4 finish at regular season so they have qualified at least at CoL-Q2. I think they are first clubs from leagues that started at summer that have qualified

I'm not sure if Hibernian, Aberdeen and Dundee United can all overtake Celtic after yesterday's results due to the matches between them remaining but if Hibernian doesn't win now Celtic will be top 4 for sure.

There are 5 matches between these clubs and they don't afford to loose 15 points totally in order to be all of them above Celtic. So Celtic has also qualified to next season 's competitions at least at CoL-Q2

no excel sheet yet with predicted outcomes for 25/26 qualifiers?

We could have an interesting situation in Wales regarding the clubs qualified for European football: TNS and Connah's Quay Nomads are in the SFs of the Welsh Cup (together with two second division clubs). Also, Barry Town United and Connah's Quay Nomads are in the Bottom-6 group of the league and battle for the top position that leads to qualification for the ECL-Q1 play-off quarter-finals. As I have mentioned before, many times during the past seasons, the club that finished in that position, qualified for ECL in the end. In other words, the clubs qualified for European football could be the clubs that finished in positions 1, 7 and 8.

Celtic qualified for European football. They will finish in the top four, because Dundee United and Hibernian will play each other two times the remain matches therefore one of them cant reach the Celtic. 33 points available the remain matches, Dundee United needs 29 points to equal, and Hibernian needs 32 points to equal.

In Belgium Genk qualified for at least EL Q2 as regular season winners.

Hey @bert.kassies, one small error. In your Qualifications link, for Bulgaria there are six games in the playoffs now, and not five. The top four teams play for the title, while teams 5-8 enter the UECL playoffs (winner facing 3rd or 4th from title playoffs)

Also in Armenia there are 30 matches for each club this season since there are now 11 teams and they play each other 3 times.

We are pleased to inform you that the above-mentioned regulations were approved by the UEFA Executive Committee on 26 February 2025 and are now available in the UEFA Documents portal.

As regards the UEFA senior men’s club competitions, the UEFA Executive Committee approved the regulations of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League for the entire 2024–27 cycle on 20 March 2024. Therefore, only minimal changes, acknowledging new practices or based on decisions made since their approval, are presented in addition to the ordinary adaptations. Similarly, after only one season under the new format of the UEFA Youth League, only minimal changes to that competition’s regulations are presented.

With regard to the UEFA women’s club competitions, following the decision in December 2023 to change the format of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and introduce a second-tier competition (the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup), all related changes to the principles of access, the competition system and the calendar have been incorporated into the regulations of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and new regulations have been produced in full for the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup. Pending ongoing discussions, Chapter XIII (Exploitation of the Commercial Rights) and Annex G (Club Media Rights Guidelines) of the UEFA Women’s Champions League regulations will be approved and republished in May 2025.

Sweden:
Malmo (champion) - CL-Q1
Hammarby (2nd place) - CO-Q2, or EL-Q1 if they or Malmo win cup
AIK (3rd place) - CO-Q2, or EL-Q1 if they win cup

Cup winner will qualify for EL-Q1. If any of the above three win cup, Djurgarden will qualify for CO-Q2.
Malmo will qualify for CL-LS if they win Europa League.
Elfsborg will qualify for CL-LS if they win Europa League.
Djurgarden will qualify for EL-LS if they win Conference League.

AIK have been eliminated from the Swedish Cup, so they will definitely play in Conference League, starting from Q2.

If IFK Göteborg doesn't win the Svenska Cupen, it will be their fifth season not participating in European competitions (since 2020–21 EL-QR2). Terrible for such a famous club...
