Palace in Europe: Conference League seedings revealed

The 36 teams competing in the league phase have now been finalised, following the completion of the Conference League and Europa League play-off rounds on Thursday evening.

UEFA have now confirmed **Palace will be in pot 2 for the draw. Each side will be drawn to play six opponents, one from each pot.**

Each side involved can play against a maximum of two opponents from any other one association.

The draw ceremony begins at 12:00 BST, although the Conference League draw will follow the Europa League draw. Rather than done by the drawing of numbers, the draw is executed fully digitally, through a designated automated software, reviewed and checked by an appointed external auditor.
