The Ultimate Guide to Betting on UEFA Conference League with Bitcoin & Crypto

Introduced in the 2021–22 season, the UEFA Conference League is UEFA's third-tier continental club competition, sitting beneath the Champions League and Europa League. It was created to promote inclusivity, allowing clubs from lower-ranked national associations to compete on Europe's big stage.

UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin has described the Conference League as a way to make sure football is “for everyone and not just a rich elite.”

From 2024–25, the tournament adopted a 36-team league phase. Each club plays six different opponents - three at home and three away. After this stage, the top eight teams qualify directly for the Round of 16, clubs ranked 9th–24th enter the knockout play-offs, and the rest are eliminated.

All knockout ties are played over two legs, except for the final, which is a single match at a neutral venue.

The winners earn a place in the following season's UEFA Europa League league phase, unless they have already qualified through domestic performance.

Who are the favorites for UEFA Conference League 2025-2026?

The UEFA Conference League 2025–26 promises another wide-open race, and bettors have already zeroed in on a handful of clubs with the talent and form to go deep. At Cloudbet, outright odds highlight six standout contenders, each bringing their own strengths and domestic pedigree into Europe's most unpredictable competition.

For crypto bettors looking to back a favorite with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or other digital currencies, these teams set the stage for where value and excitement are likely to meet.

1. Crystal Palace: The FA Cup winners were demoted from the Europa League due to issues surrounding multi-club ownership, but this still provides the club with their first chance to compete in a major European competition. The Eagles struggled progressing to the league stage this season, but their Premier League pedigree makes them one of the higher-profile contenders in the 2025–26 field.
2. Fiorentina: La Viola are one of the leading Conference League contenders this season, having made the semi-finals or finals the past three years. Their consistent European presence - having reached six European finals - ensures they will be closely watched. Their sole victory was more than 60 years ago and they'll be itching to end the drought.
3. Strasbourg Alsace: The French side has benefited the past couple of years since Chelsea's owners bought a majority stake, allowing the loan of several of the English club's promising youngsters to Strasbourg. The club's best European finish was reaching the quarter-finals of the 1979-80 European Cup.
4. Shakhtar Donetsk: The Miners started this season in the Europa League but a series of difficult matches saw them eke out a qualification to the Conference League league phase. It's a bitter pill to swallow for a side that prior to this season had qualified for every Champions League since 2000-2001. The 2009 UEFA Cup winners will be anxious to prove themselves.
5. Rayo Vallecano: This marks just the second time Los Franjirrojos have qualified for a European competition, having previously reached the quarter finals of the 2000-2001 UEFA Cup. Rayo qualified with ease through the play-off round in this season's Conference League with a convincing win over Belarusian side Neman Grodno.
6. FSV Mainz: Mainz reached the league phase after navigating a tricky play-off round even though it was listed as one of the seeded clubs. This will be the fifth time that Die Nullfünfer have played in Europe, with its last appearance ending in a group-stage exit in the 2016/17 Europa League.
