UEFA Club Ranking
The most recent club ranking is used for seeding of clubs for draws in the Champions League and the Europa League.
For the club ranking match results in qualifying rounds do not count, but clubs get qualifying points in case they don't qualify for the group stage.
Clubs that are eliminated in qualifying rounds and play-offs of the Conference League are rewarded with a number of points based on the reached (qualifying) round:
| Qualifying points Conference League | |
|---|
| Qualifying points EL and CO league stages | |
|---|
| CO-Q1 | 1.00 |
| CO-Q2 | 1.50 |
| CO-Q3 | 2.00 |
| CO-PO | 2.50 |
| CO-LS | 2.50 (minimum) |
| EL-LS | 3.00 (minimum) |
These qualification points are not cumulative. The group stage of the Champions League is already rewarded with bonus points (see above). The points for the group stages of the Europa League and the Conference League are a minimum and will not be added to the match points obtained during the group stage. So, all participating clubs get at least some bonus points, qualification points, or match points.
