When is the Europa League draw? Date and time as Tottenham discover opponents
Tottenham are set to discover their Europa League opponents this week as the draw will take place.
This year, there has been a change to the competition format with the traditional group stages being replaced by the league phase. This means that teams will be ranked in a league table, with their position determining whether they progress to the knockout rounds.
Tottenham, like all other teams, will play eight league stage matches - four at home and four away - aiming to finish as high up the table as possible. The top eight teams will automatically advance to the round-of-16, while those finishing between ninth and 24th will qualify for the knockout play-off round.
Teams that don't make the cut won't drop into the Conference League. With this in mind, football.london brings you all the details on how you can follow the draw.
