Who qualifies for the Europa and Conference League if Italy gets an extra place in the Champions League?



If Italy secures an extra Champions League spot, the teams placed sixth and seventh in Serie A will qualify for the Europa League, while eighth will go to the Conference League.

If Atalanta and Fiorentina qualify for the semi-finals of the Europa League and Conference League this evening, Serie A will mathematically have five clubs in the Champions League next season.

If Italy finishes in the top two in the UEFA coefficient rankings, the fifth-ranked team in Serie A will qualify for the Champions League, ahead of the sixth- and seventh-ranked clubs in the Europa League and the team ranked eighth in the Conference League.

Next season’s Champions League will have a new format with 36 clubs involved instead of 32, and two additional places will be given to the top two countries in the UEFA coefficient rankings, which are updated with the results of each European club competition.

As it stands, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Bologna and Roma would qualify for the Champions League, Atalanta and Lazio would go to the Europa League and Napoli would go to the Conference League. However, there are six matches left to play in Serie A, and the results of Fiorentina, Atalanta and Roma in European competition can still change the scenario for Serie A clubs in Europe.
