Chelsea will learn their fate in the Europa Conference League play-off round today.
Despite finishing sixth in the Premier League last season, Chelsea missed out on a Europa League spot due to Manchester United’s eighth-place finish and their FA Cup victory over Manchester City.
It remains uncertain how seriously new head coach Enzo Maresca will approach the competition, but it presents a promising opportunity for the club to secure their first trophy under the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership.
Chelsea are in the Main Path of the play-off round, meaning they are seeded and will face an unseeded team in their opening match.
UEFA has not yet released the full seedings but will do so before the draw later today.
When is the Europa Conference League play-off round draw? The draw is set to take place at 1pm BST on Monday, August 5, 2024, at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
When is the Europa Conference League play-off round?
