The draw has set the stage for the Red Bulls’ participation in the 2026/27 UEFA Europa League League phase, where they will compete against eight opponents. Home matches are scheduled against AC Milan (ITA), Sparta Prag (CZE), Crystal Palace (ENG), and Ararat-Armenia (ARM). Away matches will be played against Bayer 04 Leverkusen (GER), RSC Anderlecht (BEL), NK Celje (SLO), and Levski Sofia (BUL).
The league phase format has replaced the traditional group stage in UEFA competitions. Each team plays four home and four away matches against their eight opponents. Following the eight rounds, a table will rank all 36 participating teams. The top eight teams will advance directly to the round of 16, while teams finishing 9th to 24th will compete in a play-off round to determine the remaining knockout stage participants.
Changes to the previous format include the elimination of relegation to the UEFA Conference League for teams finishing third in their group. The league phase will now conclude at the end of January. Four-match packages for the Red Bulls’ home games will be available soon, with season ticket holders receiving exclusive pre-sale access. Premium season-ticket holders will receive a 20% discount on their seats. UEFA will release the exact fixtures this weekend.
