How Many Days Until the Conference League Final?
The UEFA Europa Conference League Final 2025 is scheduled around Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
About the UEFA Europa Conference League Final
The UEFA Europa Conference League Final is the deciding match of the UEFA Europa Conference League, the third tier of European club football competition, launched by UEFA in the 2021–22 season. It provides an opportunity for more clubs across Europe, particularly from countries lower in the UEFA coefficient rankings, to compete on a continental stage. The final is a single match held at a neutral venue.
Europe's Newest Club Final
The Conference League Trophy
Winners lift the distinctively shaped trophy and, importantly, gain automatic qualification for the following season's UEFA Europa League group stage (unless they qualify for the Champions League).
Increased Opportunity
Designed to give more clubs from more associations the chance to participate in European group stage football.
Late Spring Final
The final typically takes place on a Wednesday evening in late May or early June, often scheduled around the Europa League and Champions League finals.
Path to Europa League
Winning the Conference League offers a direct route into the more established Europa League competition for the next season.
A Recent Addition
The UEFA Europa Conference League was established to provide more inclusive European competition. Its inaugural season was 2021–22, culminating in Roma defeating Feyenoord in the first final held in Tirana, Albania. The competition involves teams qualifying through their domestic league performance, typically those finishing just below the Europa League qualification spots, as well as teams eliminated from the Champions League and Europa League qualifying rounds.
The Final Match
Following the format of UEFA's other major club finals, the Conference League final is contested as a single match at a neutral venue selected by UEFA. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the match proceeds to extra time and potentially a penalty shoot-out to decide the winner. It represents the culmination of a season-long journey for teams often experiencing European competition for the first time or after a long absence.
