Bet on the UEFA Conference League 2026/27 with Bitcoin
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.
The 2026-2027 edition is the sixth season of the competition, running from qualifying in July through to the final at Beşiktaş Stadium in Istanbul on 2 June 2027 — the same ground that staged the 2026 Europa League final.
From 2024–25, the tournament adopted a 36-team league phase. This is where the Conference League differs from UEFA's other two competitions: each club plays just six matches rather than eight, three at home and three away, and the league phase does not begin until October. 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.
Cloudbet offers you the opportunity to bet with crypto on Conference League games, allowing you to place wagers on various outcomes like match results, the outright winner, and more. Bitcoin betting is available for all your favorite UEFA Conference League teams.

Who are the favorites for the UEFA Conference League 2026-2027?
Crystal Palace lifted the trophy last season, beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in Leipzig for the club's first European title. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored early in the second half, Adam Wharton was named man of the match, and Ismaïla Sarr finished as both the competition's top scorer with nine goals and its best player. Palace came through as the tenth-ranked side in the league phase before beating Zrinjski, AEK Larnaca, Fiorentina and Shakhtar Donetsk on the way to Leipzig.
They will not be defending it. As winners, Palace move up to the Europa League league phase, and the current format does not allow clubs to transfer back down into the Conference League. This competition begins each season without a reigning champion in the field — one reason it remains the most unpredictable of UEFA's three club tournaments.
Palace were the third English club to win it in five years, after West Ham United in 2023 and Chelsea in 2025, and the fifth different winner in the competition's history.
The 2026-2027 field is not yet settled. The league phase is made up of 24 play-off round winners plus 12 clubs dropping down after losing in Europa League play-offs, all decided on 27 August, with the draw the following day. Sides from across UEFA's 54 associations are involved, and history suggests the outright market will look very different by October — Palace themselves were a Premier League side playing only their second European campaign.
