Conference League records and stats: Clubs, players, matches, goals, wins

Conference League records: Clubs

The UEFA Conference League launched in 2021/22, making UEFA's club competitions more inclusive than ever before and giving fresh talent and rising teams the opportunity to compete at the highest level.

Chelsea smashed the record for the new tournament's biggest win on Matchday 3 of the 2024/25 league phase, beating Armenia's Noah 8-0 at Stamford Bridge – they had matched the previous mark by half-time.

The 8-0 win also equalled the record for highest-scoring Conference League game, set when PSV Eindhoven and Copenhagen played out a thrilling 4-4 draw in 2022 and matched when Nordsjælland beat Ludogorets 7-1 in 2023, then again when Cercle Brugge defeated St. Gallen 6-2 on Matchday 1 in 2024/25.

Conference League records: Players

Harry Kane scored the first Conference League hat-trick against Slovenian side Mura, but Tottenham's early exit in 2021/22 meant it was a straight shoot-out between another English striker, Tammy Abraham, and Feyenoord's Cyriel Dessers for the inaugural top scorer award.

Dessers took the honour and was the leading scorer in the competition before Arthur Cabral surpassed him at the quarter-final stage the following season. Brazilian Cabral shared the 2022/23 top scorer prize with Basel's Zeki Amdouni.

Ferdy Druijf scored the quickest goal in the Conference League to date, finding the net 32 seconds into Rapid Wien's 2-1 victory over Vitesse in the 2021/22 knockout round play-offs. Sivasspor midfielder Fredrik Ulvestad came within a second of matching that mark with the opener in a 4-3 home loss to Ballkani on 6 October 2022.
