Draw

The draw for the 1st qualifying round of the Europa League will be held at UEFA's Nyoni headquarters on the 10th August from 1 p.m. You can follow the live broadcast of the draw on vidi.hu, on Monday from 12 noon.

Once the pairings have been formed, the drawn selected teams will have 24 hours to finalise the venue and time of the match. If travel restrictions do not allow the match to be played in the home team's country, the home team must host the match in a third, neutral country where no team is subject to an exclusive travel restriction. 

Contrary to the practice of previous years, the draw for the 2nd qualifying round will take place after the matches of the 1st qualifying round have been played.
