Notes
  1. UEL MP Q3 Losers of Europa League third qualifying round (Main Path).

Format edit

Each tie is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advance to the next round. If the aggregate score is level at the end of normal time of the second leg, the away goals rule is no longer applied starting from this season.[4] To decide the winner of the tie, extra time is played, and if the same number of goals are scored by both teams during extra time, the tie is decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Third qualifying round edit

The draw for the third qualifying round was held on 19 July 2021, 14:00 CEST.[7]

Seeding edit

A total of 64 teams played in the third qualifying round. They were divided into two paths:

  • Champions Path (10 teams): 9 winners of the second qualifying round (Champions Path), whose identity was not known at the time of draw, and 1 loser from the first qualifying round of the Champions League which received a bye to this round (Shamrock Rovers). There was no seeding. Due to political reasons, teams from Bosnia Herzegovina and Kosovo could not be drawn against each other, thus the winners of the ties between Borac Banja Luka/Linfield and Prishtina/Connah's Quay Nomads could not be drawn against each other.
  • Main Path (54 teams): 9 teams which entered in this round, and 45 winners of the second qualifying round (Main Path). Seeding of teams was based on their 2021 UEFA club coefficients.[3] For the winners of the second qualifying round, whose identity was not known at the time of draw, the club coefficient of the highest-ranked remaining team in each tie was used. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.

Prior to the draw, UEFA formed seven groups in the Main Path, six of four seeded teams and four unseeded teams, and one of three seeded teams and three unseeded teams, in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee. In the Main Path, numbers were pre-assigned for each team by UEFA, with the draw held in two runs, one for Groups 1–6 with eight teams and one for Group 7 with six teams. The first team drawn in each tie would be the home team of the first leg.

Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.

Prior to the draw, UEFA formed four groups in the Main Path, three of four seeded teams and four unseeded teams, and one of five seeded teams and five unseeded teams, in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee. In the Main Path, numbers were pre-assigned for each team by UEFA, with the draw held in two runs, one for Groups 1–3 with eight teams and one for Group 4 with ten teams. The first team drawn in each tie would be the home team of the first leg.
