Europa League Odds & Betting Markets

The UEFA Europa League is an annual football competition that represents the second tier of European club football, sitting just below the UEFA Champions League. A total of 77 teams are participating in the 2025/26 Europa League, with 36 teams advancing to the league phase. This includes 13 teams that qualified directly, 12 teams that progressed through the qualifying rounds (first, second, third, and play-off), and 11 teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds.

A large change was introduced in the 2024/25 iteration of the Europa League and it continues into the 2025/26 season. Instead of the traditional eight groups, the competition now features a single 36-team league phase using the Swiss model. All 36 competitors will play 8 matches against different teams, 4 of which will be at home and 4 of which will be played away.

The top 8 teams in the Europa League will advance straight to the round of 16, while sides that finish 9th to 24th will compete in a knockout tournament. From here on, the format remains the same, with knockout matches setting the stage for the final. The 2025/26 Europa League started on the 10th of July 2025 and the final is scheduled for the 20th of May 2026 at Besiktas Park in Istanbul, Turkey.

For anyone who wants to bet on the Europa League, BetVictor Ireland is the place to be. On this page, you can find a huge range of Europa League odds, featuring outright markets and coverage for every match!

Some of the most popular Europa League betting markets that you can find in our sports betting catalogue include:

• Outright - An outright bet is a prediction for which team will win the Europa League overall. This bet will only be awarded at the corresponding rate if the chosen team lifts the trophy after being victorious in the final.
• To Reach The Final - Here at BetVictor, you can also bet on which team reaches the Europa League final. With this type of bet, it doesn't matter if the chosen team wins or loses in the final match: They simply need to be present.
• Match Winner - This is the most popular market when it comes to football betting, and it involves picking which team will win in 90 minutes. Keep in mind that this market does not apply to extra time and penalties, should they be needed.
• Handicap - With a handicap football bet, you are betting on the result with one team receiving goals added or subtracted to their total. For example, betting on a team with a handicap of -1.5 means they must win by 2 or more goals in order for the wager to be marked as a successful one.
• Total Goals - Another type of bet revolves around selecting whether the total number of goals scored in a game will be over or under a specified amount. For example, if you bet on over 2.5 goals, at least 3 must be scored.

Naturally, you can also find all of the standard football betting markets for Europa League games, including odds for the first goal scorer, exact result, draw no bet, and much more!

Tottenham Hotspur are the reigning UEFA Europa League champions after defeating Manchester United 1–0 in the 2024/25 final held at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. They will not be able to defend their title this season, as they are competing in the UEFA Champions League. As for the most successful club in Europa League history, that distinction still belongs to Sevilla, who have won the trophy seven times since the competition's inception in 1971.
