Access to the 1st qualifying round is granted to 3 Fair Play teams. In the Europa League qualifying rounds the teams will be no longer be divided into regional groups (as used previously in the UEFA Cup).
The Europa League title holder Atlético Madrid already qualified for the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League. This implies that the cup winner of the 28th country on the ranking list (Inter Turku, Finland) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winner of Malta (Valletta FC) and the 1st league entrant of San Marino (Tre Penne) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
For the draw of the 1st round the 52 teams were divided into 5 groups of 10-12 teams.

Unseeded teams in the 1st qualifying round that qualify for the next round take effectively the coefficient of their opponent in the next round: Portadown replaced the seeded team Skonto Riga (2.149), and ETO Györ replaced the seeded team FC Nitra (3.166). The reason for this is that the draw for the 2nd qualifying round is made before the results of the 1st qualifying round are known.
