The 2026-27 Conference League league phase draw has been completed, with English and Scottish supporters now knowing where their clubs will be travelling during the European campaign.
The draw took place in Monaco on Friday 28 August, with Brighton and Hearts representing British football in the competition after both clubs secured their places in the 36-team league phase.
Both sides have been handed six different opponents, meaning supporters will have three home European nights and three away trips to look forward to as the Conference League gets underway in October.
The league phase begins on October 15, with the six matchdays running until December 17.
Here, Football Ground Guide breaks down every away day for the English and Scottish clubs competing in the 2026-27 Conference League league phase.
Brighton
Home games: Monaco, CS Universitatea Craiova, Kauno Zalgiris
Away games: Panathinaikos, Getafe, Jablonec
Brighton are competing in Europe for the second time in their history after overcoming Tromso in qualifying to reach the league phase.
The Seagulls have been handed an intriguing European itinerary, with trips to Greece, Spain and the Czech Republic providing three very different away-day experiences for their supporters.
Brighton will travel to face Panathinaikos, Getafe and Jablonec during the league phase, although the order of those fixtures, along with the dates and kick-off times, is yet to be confirmed by UEFA.
The south coast side will begin their campaign on October 15 and play six matches in just over two months, with Brighton knowing they must finish in the top eight of the 36-team table to automatically progress to the round of 16.
Should they finish anywhere between ninth and 24th, they will enter a two-legged knockout play-off round, while teams finishing 25th or lower will be eliminated.
Hearts
Home games: Monaco, Borac, Nordsjaelland
Away games: Pafos, Trabzonspor, Thun
Hearts will also have three very different away days to look forward to after being drawn against Pafos, Trabzonspor and Thun in the Conference League league phase.
The Edinburgh club, owned by Brighton chief Tony Bloom, will travel to Cyprus, Turkey and Switzerland during the league phase, although UEFA has yet to confirm the order in which those fixtures will be played, as well as the dates and kick-off times.
The standout trip could well be the journey to Turkey to face Trabzonspor, with Hearts supporters set for a memorable European occasion against the club owned by Brighton chairman Tony Bloom.
Pafos and Thun will provide very different away-day experiences, giving the Jambos the chance to visit three countries across their European campaign.
With Monaco among their home opponents, just like Brighton, alongside Borac and Nordsjaelland, Hearts have been handed a schedule that has a mix of glamour, challenging away trips and more manageable fixtures.
The Edinburgh side will therefore have plenty to look forward to when the league phase gets underway in October, with supporters set for European trips across three different countries.
FGG Says:
For Brighton and Hearts, the 2026-27 Conference League draw has delivered six very different European challenges and some exciting away days for supporters.
Brighton's trips to Panathinaikos and Getafe stand out as particularly attractive fixtures, while the journey to Jablonec offers a more traditional Central European away day.
For Hearts, meanwhile, the trip to Trabzonspor is the clear standout.
A visit to Turkey promises to be one of the most atmospheric occasions of the campaign, while Pafos and Thun provide two very different destinations for travelling Jambos.
With the league phase beginning in October and six fixtures to be played before Christmas, supporters of both British clubs have plenty of European adventures to look forward to.
