The 2026–27 UEFA Conference League marks the sixth edition of UEFA's third-tier European club competition, bringing together teams from across the continent to compete for continental success.
The tournament champions will earn an automatic place in the league phase of the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League, provided they have not already qualified for the UEFA Champions League or the Europa League through their domestic league results.
Defending champions Crystal Palace will not have the opportunity to retain their Conference League title, having already secured a place in the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League league phase.
