FC Porto learn their Europa League opponents | OneFootball

Rangers FC (home), RB Salzburg (away), Red Star (home), Viktoria Plzeň (away), OGC Nice (home), Nottingham Forest (away), Malmö FF (home), and FC Utrecht (away). These are FC Porto's opponents in the initial phase of the Europa League 2025/26, according to the draw made this Friday at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo.

The top eight finishers in the league phase automatically qualify for the knockout rounds. Teams finishing between 9th and 24th place will compete in a two-legged play-off to secure the remaining spots in the last 16. The bottom 12 are eliminated from European competitions.

The league phase, which FC Porto won in 2003 and 2011, begins on September 24 or 25 and ends on January 29, 2026. The order, dates, and times of the matches are yet to be determined – these details will be drawn later to avoid conflicts with other competitions. The complete schedule of the league phase matches will be announced on Sunday, August 31.
