Draw procedure

Eight balls containing the names of the teams coming from the UEFA Europa League were placed in a bowl.

A first ball was drawn from the bowl. The team drawn was placed as the home team for the first leg of match 1.

In accordance with the above draw conditions, the computer then showed which UEFA Europa Conference League group stage runners-up were eligible to play the team drawn for match 1. These teams' names were placed in a bowl.

A ball was drawn from that bowl to complete the pairing for match 1. The team drawn was placed as the visiting team for the first leg.

The above procedure was repeated for the remaining matches.

If the computer indicated that only one UEFA Europa Conference League group stage runner-up could be drawn for a particular match, that team was automatically assigned to the match and no ball was drawn.
