February 13, 2025 - Europe’s new UEFA Europa League season continues, with the newly introduced knock-out phase play-offs featuring teams ranked 9th-24th in the league phase, competing to join the Top 8 already qualified for the Last 16. Key fixtures include Galatasaray travelling to AZ Alkmaar, Porto hosting a heavyweight clash with Roma, and Ajax taking on Union SG in a Dutch-Belgian affair. The second leg matches take place on February 20.
The 2024–25 UEFA Europa League will be the 54th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the first season played under a new format, which replaces the 32-team group stage with a 36-team league phase.
