Spanish Teams Playing in Europe, 2026-27 Season

Which Spanish teams are playing in Europe in the 2026-27 season?

Here is the list of the Spanish La Liga teams playing in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League during the 2026-27 season.

But first, a little background.

How is Soccer Organized Worldwide?

World soccer is run by FIFA and divided into seven regions; Europe is one, and it is run by UEFA. Within each region there are three types of competitions: nation vs nation to qualify for the World Cup every four years, nation vs nation for the regional championship every four years, and club vs club for the regional championship. World Cup Qualifying is called just that. The others, in Europe’s case, are the European Championships and the Champions League.

Three Tournaments: Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League

The second European club championship is called the Europa League. Here, Spain is represented by the team finishing 6th and the team winning the Copa del Rey — unless the latter also qualifies for Champions League, in which case their spot goes to the no. 7 team. (Read all about the Europa League here.)

And finally we have the UEFA Conference League. This one takes the highest-finishing team that didn’t otherwise qualify for Europe.
