The2021–22 UEFA Europa League was the 51st season of Europe's secondary clubfootball tournament organised byUEFA, and the 13th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to theUEFA Europa League.
Eintracht Frankfurt defeatedRangers 5–4 onpenalties following a 1–1 draw afterextra time in thefinal played at theEstadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán inSeville,Spain, winning the competition for the second time in club history, and the first since1980.[3] The final was originally scheduled to be played at thePuskás Aréna inBudapest, Hungary.[4] However, due to the postponement and relocation of the2020 final, the final hosts were shifted back a year, with Budapest instead hosting the2023 final.[5] As winners, Eintracht Frankfurt automatically qualified for the2022–23 UEFA Champions League group stage, and also earned the right to play against the winners of the2021–22 UEFA Champions League,Real Madrid, in the2022 UEFA Super Cup.
This season was the first since 1999–2000 (the first season after the dissolution of theUEFA Cup Winners' Cup) where three major European club competitions (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the newly createdUEFA Europa Conference League) take place, and the first outright where the Europa League (then the UEFA Cup) is the secondary competition of the three. As a result, major changes to the format of the Europa League were made. The number of teams in the group stage was reduced from 48 to 32 teams, and the number of teams participating in qualifying was also reduced significantly. The first round of the knockout phase also now involved only the group stage runners-up and the Champions League third-placed teams, with the group winners directly advancing to the round of 16.[6]
As the title holdersVillarreal qualified for the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League, they were unable to defend their title as they advanced to theChampions League knockout stage, and were eliminated byLiverpool in thesemi-finals.
On 24 June 2021, UEFA approved the proposal to abolish theaway goals rule in all UEFA club competitions, which had been used since 1965. Therefore, if in atwo-legged tie, two teams scored the same number of aggregate goals, the winner of tie was not decided by the number of away goals scored by each team, but always by 30 minutes ofextra time, and if the two teams scored the same number of goals in extra time, the winner was decided by apenalty shoot-out.[7]
A total of 58 teams from 33 of the 55UEFA member associations participated in the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League. Among them, 16 associations had teams directly qualifying for the Europa League, while for the other 39 associations that did not have any teams directly qualifying, 17 of them had teams playing after being transferred from the Champions League (the only member association which could not have a participant wasLiechtenstein, which did not organise a domestic league, and could only enter their cup winner into the Europa Conference League given their association ranking). The association ranking based on theUEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[8]
For the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2020UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2015–16 to 2019–20.[9]
Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:

The following is the access list for this season.[10] In the default access list, the title holders of the Europa Conference League qualified for the group stage. However, since this berth was not used for this season, the following changes to the access list were made:
| Teams entering in this round | Teams advancing from previous round | Teams transferred from Champions League | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Third qualifying round (16 teams) | Champions Path (10 teams) |
| ||
| Main Path (6 teams) |
|

| Play-off round (20 teams) |

|
| |
| Group stage (32 teams) |
|
|
| |
| Preliminary knockout round (16 teams) |
|

| Knockout phase (16 teams) |

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:
The third qualifying round was divided into Champions Path (CH) and Main Path (MP).

Pink: Group H.The draw for the group stage was held on 27 August 2021, 12:00CEST (13:00TRT), inIstanbul, Turkey.[13][16] The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots, each of eight teams, based on their 2021UEFA club coefficients.[17] Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Prior to the draw, UEFA formed pairings of teams from the same association, including those playing in theEuropa Conference League group stage (one pairing for associations with two or three teams, two pairings for associations with four or five teams), based on television audiences, where one team was drawn into Groups A–D and another team was drawn into Groups E–H, so that the two teams would have different kick-off times.[18]
The matches were played on 15–16 September, 30 September, 19–21 October, 4 November, 24–25 November, and 9 December 2021. The winners of each group advanced to the round of 16, while the runners-up advanced to the knockout round play-offs. The third-placed teams were transferred to the Europa Conference League knockout round play-offs, while the fourth-placed teams were eliminated from European competitions for the season.
Brøndby andWest Ham United made their debut appearances in the Europa League group stage (although Brøndby had previously appeared in theUEFA Cup group stage).
