Tottenham Hotspur fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the draw and the fixture list for the upcoming Europa League campaign. Here’s when that draw takes place.
Tottenham Hotspur are back in the Europa League
After a fifth-placed finish in the Premier League last season, Ange Postecoglou‘s men have a Europa League adventure to look forward to in 2024/25.
It will be the first time Spurs have challenged in Europe’s second-tier competition since 2020, and marks a fairly promising opportunity for silverware for the club.
Tottenham already know their Premier League fixtures for the coming campaign, but fans are still keen to find out who the club will face in Europe, and when exactly the games will take place.
There’s still a fair wait until the Europa League fixtures are announced, though, with qualification rounds still to come for some teams.
So, here’s when the draw for the competition will take place, and what Spurs can expect from the fixture list.
Tottenham’s Europa League journey will be clearer come August
As per a piece from Football.London, the draw for the initial stage of the Europa League will take place on August 30th, 2024.
Tottenham will go straight into the league stage of the tournament without having to play any qualifier matches.
They will play eight games as part of that first part of the Europa League, which is set for a new format in the coming season. 36 teams will be involved in a league format, with eight games against eight different teams, four at home and four away, before the top eight advance to the next stage.
The 16 teams placed ninth to 24th will then play-off for a place in the knockout stages for real.
Roughly speaking, we know Tottenham can expect games on the following dates:
- Matchday 1: September 25, 2024
- Matchday 2: October 3, 2024
- Matchday 3: October 24, 2024
- Matchday 4: November 7, 2024
- Matchday 5: November 28, 2024
- Matchday 6: December 12, 2024
- Matchday 7: January 23, 2025
- Matchday 8: January 30, 2025
Spurs fans will be hoping for a favourable draw on the 30th August, and expect Postecoglou to take his team far into the competition’s latter stages.
