Draw

Summarize
Perspective

The draw for the group stage was held on 26 August 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey. The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots, each of eight teams, based on their 2022 UEFA club coefficients.[1] Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Prior to the draw, UEFA formed pairings of teams from the same association, including those playing in the Europa Conference League group stage (one pairing for associations with two or three teams, two pairings for associations with four or five teams), based on television audiences, where one team was drawn into Groups A–D and another team was drawn into Groups E–H, so that the two teams would have different kick-off times. The following pairings were announced by UEFA after the group stage teams were confirmed (the second team in a pairing marked by UECL played in the Europa Conference League group stage):[2]

Format

Summarize
Perspective

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The winners of each group advanced to the round of 16, while the runners-up advanced to the knockout round play-offs. The third-placed teams were transferred to the Europa Conference League knockout round play-offs, while the fourth-placed teams were eliminated from European competitions for the season.

Tiebreakers

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see Article 16 Equality of points – group stage, Regulations of the UEFA Europa League):[3]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Away goals scored in all group matches;
  8. Wins in all group matches;
  9. Away wins in all group matches;
  10. Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point);
  11. UEFA club coefficient.

Due to the abolition of the away goals rule, head-to-head away goals were no longer applied as a tiebreaker starting from last season. However, total away goals were still applied as a tiebreaker.[4]

Notes

  1. CEST (UTC+2) for dates up to 29 October 2022 (matchdays 1–5), and CET (UTC+1) for date thereafter (matchday 6).
  2. Zürich played their first home match at Kybunpark, St. Gallen, instead of their regular stadium, Letzigrund, Zürich, due to a music concert and athletic event.[6]
  3. The Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven match, originally scheduled to be played on 15 September 2022, 21:00 (20:00 UTC+1), was rescheduled to 20 October 2022, 19:00 (18:00 UTC+1), due to conditions related to the death of Elizabeth II.[14]
  4. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian teams were required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.[22] Therefore, Dynamo Kyiv played at Stadion Cracovii im. Józefa Piłsudskiego, Kraków, Poland, instead of their regular stadium NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv.
  5. Union Saint-Gilloise played their home matches at Den Dreef, Leuven, instead of their regular stadium, Joseph Marien Stadium, Brussels, which did not meet UEFA requirements.
  6. Sheriff Tiraspol played their home matches at Zimbru Stadium, Chișinău, instead of their regular stadium, Sheriff Stadium, Tiraspol, due to Transnistria's involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
