Conference League Winner Odds

The UEFA Conference League is Europe’s newest competition, offering lower-ranked teams the opportunity to qualify for continental football via their league position or domestic cup success.  

At least one English team competes in the competition every year, while Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish teams also ensure there’s plenty of UK-based interest in the Conference League every season.  

With a European trophy at stake, every team takes its Conference League adventure seriously. Learn more about this competition and find out how to place a bet on this season’s winner at Parimatch Sportsbook.  

What is the UEFA Conference League?  

The UEFA Conference League is Europe’s third-tier continental competition, established in 2021. It follows the UEFA Champions League and Europa League and offers lower-ranked teams who perform well in their domestic leagues the chance to qualify for and play European football.  

Its format mirrors the Europa League, and while some people complain that it’s an unnecessary addition to an already packed football schedule, fans of smaller teams unanimously agree that it presents a brilliant opportunity for them to participate in European football.  

Format & Structure of the UEFA Conference League  

Overall, 184 teams from Europe participate in the Conference League qualifying rounds every season. This involves league and cup winners from specific nations, as well as those who finish in the top seven or eight positions in others, with qualification routes determined by the coefficient.  

Thirty-six teams qualify for the Conference League and enter the initial league phase at the beginning of the season. Each team plays six fixtures before Christmas, with the top eight sides in the league advancing directly to the round of 16.  

The sides ranked ninth to 24th in the standings will qualify for a two-legged playoff, scheduled for the New Year. The eight winners will then join the eight top-ranked teams in the round of 16.  

From then on, the competition sees teams compete in two-legged knockout matches until the final, which is held at a neutral venue. The last two teams standing contest the final, and if the scores are tied at the end of the match, extra time and penalties will be used to determine the winner.  

The winner receives one of the flashiest trophies in football, a substantial amount of prize money, and automatic qualification to the Europa League for the following season, should they need it.  

UEFA Conference League History and Winners  

The UEFA Conference League is Europe’s newest competition, having been established in 2021. At the time of writing, no team has won the competition more than once, but two English teams – West Ham United and Chelsea – have won the trophy. 

Here’s a list of the Conference League winners:  

• 2021/22: AS Roma  
• 2022/23: West Ham United  
• 2023/24: Olympiacos  
• 2024/25: Chelsea  

While the business end of the UEFA Champions League is typically settled, featuring the same teams year after year, the Conference League tends to see a diverse range of teams compete in its latter stages each year.  

This is because success in the Conference League means that, for the next season, the team will likely compete in the Europa League or even the Champions League.  

How to Bet on the Winner of the UEFA Conference League?  

You can bet on the winner of this season’s UEFA Conference League at Parimatch. At the top of this page, you’ll see the latest odds for every team in the competition.  

You may place an outright winner wager at any stage of the season, whether before the final 36 teams are confirmed during the qualification phase or throughout the league stage and knockout rounds.  

The earlier you place an outright bet, the better the odds will likely be. After all, when the field is reduced from 36 to 16, your favourite team’s odds of winning will shorten.  

If you’re confident that a team will go deep into the tournament but don’t think they will necessarily win the Conference League, you can place an each-way bet. 

It will cost double your stake, and if your team loses the final, you’ll still bag a payout, albeit at half the odds.
