Premier League to set record with 10 teams participating in European Cup?

Tottenham qualified for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.

Currently, the top seven teams in the table are guaranteed European football, but that number could increase if other conditions are met. Thanks to the excellent performance of English clubs in UEFA this season, the Premier League has been awarded an additional Champions League place, bringing the total number of teams in Europe's most prestigious tournament to six.

The top five teams will qualify directly for the Champions League, with Tottenham securing a ticket thanks to winning the Europa League after a 1-0 win over MU on May 22. Liverpool and Arsenal are currently guaranteed spots thanks to their Premier League rankings, while the remaining three spots are a fierce battle between Man City, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.

In the Europa League, the first place belongs to the team ranked 6th, while the second place is definitely in the hands of Crystal Palace. The London club participated in the European Cup for the first time in history when it created a shock by defeating Man City 1-0 in the FA Cup final on May 17.

Meanwhile, the Conference League spot currently belongs to Newcastle, thanks to the League Cup title. However, the 8th place in the table can still take the next place if Chelsea win the Conference League this season. At that time, if Chelsea qualify for the Europa League, the Conference League spot will be pushed down to the 8th place team.

The race for this spot is between Brighton and Brentford. Brighton only need to draw with Tottenham to secure their position, while Brentford must beat Wolves and wait for Brighton to stumble to have a chance to surpass them on goal difference.

If all goes well, the Premier League will have 10 of its 20 teams in the 2025/26 European Cup, a record number, reflecting the depth and increasingly dominant strength of English football on the continent.
