Season Description The 2026–27 UEFA Conference League will be the sixth season of the UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA.
The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League league phase, unless they qualify for the 2027–28 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their league performance.
As the reigning champions, Crystal Palace automatically qualified for the Europa League league phase, and are unable to defend their title as the new format does not allow clubs to transfer from the Europa League into the Conference League from the league phase onwards.
