The league phase of the 2026/27 Europa League begins this week, with British interest in the competition coming from Celtic, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Sunderland.
For Sunderland and Bournemouth, the start of the competition is particularly exciting, as it is both clubs' first-ever appearance in the Europa League/UEFA Cup.
An English side has won the competition in each of the last two seasons, but this year, it is two Italian clubs – Juventus and AC Milan – which start the season as the favourites to win it.
If you are looking to get Europa League tickets this season, we have all the information you need below.
How to get Europa League tickets: Best methods
Buy a season ticket or membership
The best way to get your hands on Europa League tickets this season is to buy a season ticket or an official membership at the club you want to buy tickets for. The biggest issue here is that, at least for English clubs, season tickets are now sold out. Therefore, your only option is to buy a membership.
Across the three competing English clubs in the Europa League, having a membership gives you the opportunity to buy tickets for Europa League matches. Members who have attended the most games get priority, but eventually the sales process will trickle down to all members, as long as tickets remain available.
To give yourself the best chance of tickets, build up your credentials by attending as many matches as you can.
Tickets for our four home UEFA Europa League group stage matches, including a four-match bundle, are now on sale to Season Ticket Holders who have until 17:30 BST on Wednesday, 9th September to secure their seat ℹ️

Wait for general sale
If you don't want to commit to an official membership, you will have to wait for tickets to drop down to general sale. There will be matches across Europe where this happens this season, but it is unlikely to happen at any of the three English clubs.
Use third-party websites
If you are happy to pay over face value and forego any security/inusrance on your ticket, you may want to consider using a third-party resale website.
These websites have been around for a while, and although many clubs have tried to ban tickets being sold on them, it still happens.
To give FGG readers some peace of mind, we have recently reviewed two of the biggest resale websites, which you can check out below.
