Friday’s draw in Nyon handed SC home games against Panathinaikos (Greece), FC Twente (Netherlands) and FK Jablonec (Czechia). Away from home, Julian Schuster’s team will face Monaco (France), Trabzonspor (Türkiye) and Kauno Žalgiris (Lithuania).

Unlike the Champions League and Europa League, the UECL league phase consists of six matches rather than eight. SC are expected to play their first game on Thursday, 15th October.

The order of the fixtures has not yet been confirmed. UEFA will announce the final schedule by Sunday, 30th August at the latest.
