The draw for the new UEFA Conference League format takes place at 13:00 UK time and can be watched in the UK on TNT alternatively it is live on TNT’s YouTube channel as well as on UEFA.com.
What is the new Conference League Format?
The biggest change is to the group stage, which will become a single 36-team League stage. Each side faces six different teams (three at home, three away). The top eight overall advance directly to the round of 16; sides finishing from ninth to 24th will contest the knockout round play-offs, with the victors going through to the last 16. From then on it is a straight knockout.
