Motherwell Football Club in Europe - 2026/27

All the detail for Motherwell in Europe next season

With the Scottish season now concluded, all of Scotland’s European entrants have been confirmed. There are so many permutations for our clubs in Europe this summer. Scotland could end up with as many as four clubs in the Conference League phase at the same time. It’s unlikely, but we could also have two in the Champions League. Three in the Europa League is also possible, and arguably the optimum outcome from a coefficient-points perspective.

The longest article ever written for the website was published last week; “The UEFA qualifiers” covers all the details for all Scottish teams.
