Considering Europa League scenarios

I’m thinking about setting the right expectations. It’s possible that if Premier League (EPL) teams send strong squads to the UEFA Europa League (UEL), clubs like Newcastle, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester United could be in the UEL for the 2025-26 season, depending on their standings. The Swiss format will be in play, and the 2024-25 season’s performance will qualify for that year. Also, if EPL secures more Champions League spots, we might see fewer top teams in the UEL.Exploring Europa League scenarios

I can propose some scenarios for the Europa League (UEL). For instance, strong English teams like Spurs and Chelsea might land there if a lower-tier EPL team qualifies for the Champions League (UCL) but drops down after the league phase. Also, other leagues, like Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, and Ligue 1, could present strong teams potentially competing. The new 2024-25 format includes a league phase of eight games, and the UEL champion qualifies for the next UCL. As for the finals, the 2024 UEL final was in Dublin, while the 2025 final will be in Bilbao at San Mamés.Exploring Europa League possibilities

I know the 2025 UCL final is in Munich, but the venue for the 2026 final is likely in Budapest, though I'm not entirely sure. For the UEL in 2026, specifics are still unknown. It seems wise to express that it's a possibility, but not a strong one. Factors like which EPL teams drop to the UEL and the stability of Serie A and Bundesliga teams will play crucial roles. I could estimate a 20-30% chance, but it’s all very tentative. I'd also like to ask which teams the user thinks might end up in the UEL!
