6 Premier League Teams to Play in Champions League, 3 in Europa League Next Season

The number of Premier League teams that will qualify for the Champions League next season is six. The top five teams in the final Premier League table will secure spots, while the winner of the Europa League final on May 21 will join them.

In contrast, three Premier League teams will play in the Europa League: the FA Cup winners and the team that finishes sixth in the league. Crystal Palace’s victory over Manchester City at Wembley has secured their place in the Europa League for next season.

Manchester City are currently in position to take an additional Europa League spot through their league placement. However, if Chelsea win the Conference League, they will only qualify for the Europa League if they do not finish in the top five of the Premier League, which would qualify them for the Champions League.

Sky Sports’ coverage of Premier League games is set to increase from 128 matches to at least 215 live games next season, with 80% of all televised games being broadcast exclusively on Sky. To watch these games without a contract, fans can stream with no commitment using NOW.

The number of teams that qualify for the Conference League is also significant, as it affects the Europa League qualification for some Premier League teams. Newcastle United have already secured their place in the Conference League by winning the Carabao Cup and are currently in position to secure either a Champions League or Europa League spot through their final league placement.

In terms of Chelsea’s finishing position, several factors come into play. European title winners gain automatic entry to Europe, but if they finish in a Premier League spot that qualifies them for competition, their title win does not earn an additional place. However, if they finish in a non-qualifying spot, their title win earns them an additional place.
