2025/26 UEFA Europa League

When is the draw for the Europa League Group Phase?

Any truth to the draws now being conducted digitally?
 
draw is tomorrow.
Yep
The Europa League draw will be conducted just like last year’s. Again, 36 teams will be divided into four pots based on their UEFA club coefficient ranking.
All teams will be manually drawn using physical balls, before UEFA’s automated software decides eight opponents for them.
 
before UEFA’s automated software decides eight opponents for them.

how is that picked though? Sounds like it give more opportunity for matches to be rigged.

There was talk in the Croatian Media the draw might be rigged to avoid Dinamo Zagreb vs Crvena Zvezda match which hasnt happened since 89-91.

Surely these automated draws are rigged? All you need to do is create an algorithm for clubs not to play each out. 🤦‍♂️
