Premier League, WSL, EFL, Scottish soccer: Ups, downs & European qualification


Liverpool clinched the Premier League title on 27 April with a 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield.

The top five teams are guaranteed qualification for the league phase of the Champions League – with Arsenal’s win over Real Madrid on 8 April making certain that England will be one of the two associations with the highest Uefa coefficients for 2024-25, and clinching a fifth place in addition to the usual four.

Liverpool and Arsenal are assured of their Champions League places, with the other three spots between Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

As winners of the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur qualify for the league phase of the Champions League as an additional (sixth) English team, regardless of their Premier League finishing position.

The sixth-placed Premier League team will qualify for the league phase of the Europa League, along with FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.

Newcastle United‘s victory in the Carabao Cup final means that at worst they will qualify for the Conference League play-off round. But if they qualify for Europe by their league position, that Conference League spot will revert to the league and go to the seventh-placed team.

If Chelsea win the Conference League but fail to reach the Champions League, they will qualify for the league phase of the Europa League.

The bottom three teams are relegated to the Championship. Southampton became the earliest team to be relegated (in terms of games) in Premier League history when they lost 3-1 at Tottenham on 6 April. They were joined by Leicester City on 20 April after their 1-0 defeat by Liverpool, and Ipswich Town on 26 April after a 3-0 loss at Newcastle.
