Juventus’ eight opponents for the 2026/27 Europa League league phase were confirmed on 28 August 2026, when the draw was held in Monte Carlo, Quotidiano.net reports.
Drawn from Pot 1, the Bianconeri will host Real Sociedad, Rennes, Omonia Nicosia and NEC Nijmegen, while travelling to AZ Alkmaar, Ferencvaros, Celta Vigo and Hapoel Be’er Sheva. The pairings were confirmed by Juventus’ official site, which also published the league-phase calendar: matchdays fall on 16-17 September, 15 October, 22 October, 5 November, 26 November and 10 December 2026, before resuming on 21 and 28 January 2027.
The Europa League’s 36 clubs were split into four pots by coefficient. Each side faces two opponents from each pot, one at home and one away, subject to two restrictions: no club can be drawn against another from its own association, and no more than two opponents can share a nationality.
The format rewards consistency. The top eight in the 36-team standings progress straight to the Round of 16, sides finishing between 9th and 24th enter a knockout playoff for a Round of 16 spot, and the bottom 12 are eliminated outright. This season’s final is scheduled for 26 May 2027 at the Stadion Frankfurt in Germany.
The draw fixes the eight clubs Juventus will face and the home-and-away split for the league phase. The match schedule sets out eight matchdays from September 2026 through January 2027.
