The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association : Associations 1 -- 51 ( except Liechtenstein ) each have three teams qualify. As the winners of the 2016 -- 17 UEFA Europa League, Manchester United qualified for the 2017 -- 18 UEFA Champions League ; the 2017 -- 18 UEFA Europa League berth they would otherwise have earned for finishing 6th in the 2016 -- 17 Premier League was vacated and not passed to another English team. Associations 52 -- 54 each have two teams qualify. Liechtenstein and Kosovo each have one team qualify ( Liechtenstein organises only a domestic cup and no domestic league ; Kosovo as per decision by the UEFA Executive Committee ). Moreover, 33 teams eliminated from the 2017 -- 18 UEFA Champions League are transferred to the Europa League. Starting from this season, Gibraltar are granted two spots instead of one in the Europa League. Kosovo, who became a UEFA member on 3 May 2016, made their debut in the UEFA Europa League. Association Ranking For the 2017 -- 18 UEFA Europa League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2016 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2011 -- 12 to 2015 -- 16. Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below : ( UCL ) -- Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League ( UEL ) -- Vacated berth due to UEFA Europa League title holders playing in UEFA Champions League Rank Association Coeff.

However, since they qualified for the Champions League as the Europa League title holders, the spot which they qualified for in the Europa League group stage is vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system are made : The domestic cup winners of association 13 ( Czech Republic ) are promoted from the third qualifying round to the group stage. The domestic cup winners of association 18 ( Poland ) are promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round. The domestic cup winners of associations 25 and 26 ( Scotland and Azerbaijan ) are promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

When a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules ( regulations Articles 3.03 and 3.04 ) : When the domestic cup winners ( considered as the `` highest - placed '' qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round ) also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated. As a result, the highest - placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one `` place ''. When the domestic cup winners also qualify for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position is vacated. As a result, the highest - placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one `` place '' if possible. For associations where a Europa League place is reserved for either the League Cup or end - of - season European competition play - offs winners, they always qualify for the Europa League as the `` lowest - placed '' qualifier. If the League Cup winners have already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place is taken by the highest - placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions.

Notes ^ Bulgaria ( BUL ) : On 29 May 2017 a UEFA letter to the Bulgarian Football Union declared that CSKA Sofia, the runners - up of the 2016 -- 17 First Professional Football League, were not allowed to compete in the Europa League as they were considered to have been re-formed as a new club and thus did not pass the `` three - year rule ''. As this decision was appealed by CSKA Sofia, the Bulgarian Football Union granted a license to them subject to legal proceedings. A few hours prior to the Europa League first qualifying round draw, UEFA replaced them with Dunav Ruse, the fourth - placed team of the league. ^ Kosovo ( KOS ) : Besa Pejë would have qualified for the Europa League first qualifying round as the winners of the 2016 -- 17 Kosovar Cup, but failed to obtain a UEFA license. As a result, the berth was given to the runners - up of the 2016 -- 17 Football Superleague of Kosovo, Prishtina. ^ Malta ( MLT ) : Birkirkara would have qualified for the Europa League first qualifying round as the third - placed team of the 2016 -- 17 Maltese Premier League, but failed to obtain a UEFA licence. As a result, the berth was given to the fourth - placed team of the league, Valletta. ^ Republic of Ireland ( IRL ) : Derry City are a club based in Northern Ireland, but will participate in the Europa League through one of the berths for the Republic of Ireland ( any coefficient points they earn count toward Republic of Ireland and not Northern Ireland ). ^ Romania ( ROU ) : Voluntari would have qualified for the Europa League third qualifying round as the winners of 2016 -- 17 Cupa României, and CFR Cluj would have qualified for the second qualifying round as the fourth - placed team of the 2016 -- 17 Liga I, but both failed to obtain a UEFA licence. As a result, the third qualifying round berth was given to the fifth - placed team of the league, CS U Craiova, and the second qualifying round berth was given to the sixth - placed team of the league, Astra Giurgiu.
