Access to the 1st qualifying round is granted to 3 Fair Play teams. Although the regulations no longer require the use of regional groups (as used before 2009), UEFA still uses some kind of regionalization in CL-Q2 and EL-Q1. At first the clubs are divided into seeded and unseeded teams, and then the seeded and unseeded teams are split into regional groups. The general approach seems to use the North/Central/South scheme, but no specific rules are known.
The Champions League title holder Chelsea did not already qualify for the Champions League, and therefore the 4th English team, Tottenham Hotspur, has to take part in the Europa League group stage since the maximum number of clubs from one country in the Champions League is 4. This implies that the 3rd team of the 6th country on the ranking list (Sporting Braga, Portugal) and the 2nd team of the 7th country on the ranking list (Spartak Moscow, Russia) have direct access to the 4th qualifying round of the Champions League.
The Europa League title holder Atlético Madrid already qualified for the group stage of the Europa League. This implies that the cup winner of the 7th country on the ranking list (Rubin Kazan, Russia) has direct access to the group stage, the 1st league entrant of the 16th country on the ranking list (FC Luzern, Switzerland) has direct access to the 4th qualifying round, the 1st league entrant of the 19th country on the ranking list (Rapid Wien, Austria) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 33th and 34th countries on the ranking list (Milsami Orhei, Moldova) and (Zalgiris Vilnius, Lithuania) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
Because the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League (for non-champions) now consists of 8 teams there will be only 4 eliminated teams that get access to the 4th qualifying round of the Europa League. This implies that the cup winner of the 17th country on the ranking list (Hapoel Tel-Aviv, Israel) has direct access to the 4th qualifying round, the cup winner of the 20th country on the ranking list (Omonia Nicosia, Cyprus) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 35th and 36th countries on the ranking list (Skonto Riga, Latvia) and (Dila Gori, Georgia) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.

UEFA did not publish any info on Q1 and Q2 draw groups before the draw took place, and there was no live coverage of the draw event. A few weeks after the draw UEFA published a video of the draw event. A computer system is used to prepare the groups such that teams of the same association are not in the same group and and that all groups are about equal strength (in terms of ranking). Then all clubs in each group are ordered randomly and identified by a number. For these draws there are only two bowls with numbered balls, one with the seeded numbers and one with the unseeded numbers. The draw determines the pairs in the groups: e.g. (7 vs 5) which means that the 7th team of each group plays against the 4th club of each group.
For the draw of the 1st round the 74 teams are divided into 5 groups of 10 teams
and 2 groups of 12 teams. For the groups with 10 teams the pairs (4 vs 8), (1 vs
7), (5 vs 10), (6 vs 2), and (3 vs 9) were drawn, and for the groups with 12
teams the pairs (1 vs 11), (6 vs 10), (4 vs 7), (8 vs 2), (12 vs 3), and (5 vs
9) were drawn.
The draw groups were as follows:
Group 1
seeded: FK Senica, FK Aktobe, FK Borac Banja Luka, Inter Baku, SK Tirana
unseeded: Torpedo Kutaisi, MTK Budapest, Trans Narva, Celik Niksic, CS Grevenmacher
Group 2
seeded: IF Elfsborg, NK Osijek, FK Jagodina, FK Baku, Renova Dzepciste
unseeded: FC Santa Coloma, Floriana, Mura Murska Sobota, Ordabasy Shymkent, Libertas
Group 3
seeded: Rosenborg BK, Levadia Tallinn, Bohemians Dublin, Differdange 03, MyPa-47
unseeded: FK Siauliai, Crusaders Belfast, NSI Runavik, Thór Akureyri, Cefn Druids
Group 4
seeded: FC Twente Enschede, Honvéd Budapest, Dacia Chisinau, FK Sarajevo, Rudar Pljevlja
unseeded: KS Flamurtari Vlorë, UE Santa Coloma, Hibernians FC, NK Celje, Shirak Gyumri
Group 5
seeded: KuPS Kuopio, FC Gomel, FH Hafnarfjardar, Suduva Marijampole, Kalmar FF
unseeded: Víkingur, Llanelli FC, Daugava Daugavpils, USV Eschen-Mauren, Cliftonville
Group 6
seeded: Lech Poznan, Pyunik Yerevan, Olimpi Rustavi, Birkirkara, Olimpija Ljubljana, Khazar Lenkoran

Group 7

unseeded: La Fiorita, JJK Jyväskylä, Portadown, IBV Vestmannaeyjar, Gandzasar Kapan, Zimbru Chisinau
Unseeded teams in the 1st qualifying round that qualify for the next round take effectively the coefficient of their opponent in the next round: JJK Jyväskylä replaced the seeded team Stabćk IF (4.935), Thór Akureyri replaced the seeded team Bohemians Dublin (3.975), Zeta Golubovci replaced the seeded team Pyunik Yerevan (3.441), Mura Murska Sobota replaced the seeded team FK Baku (3.241), Celik Niksic replaced the seeded team FK Borac Banja Luka (3.183), Zimbru Chisinau replaced the seeded team Bangor City (3.049), Ordabasy Shymkent replaced the seeded team FK Jagodina (2.850), Shirak Gyumri replaced the seeded team Rudar Pljevlja (2.375), Portadown replaced the seeded team Shkendija Tetovo (2.133), Metalurg Skopje replaced the seeded team Birkirkara (2.116), and Gandzasar Kapan replaced the seeded team EB Streymur (2.033). 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.

The 3rd round qualifying match between Anorthosis Famagusta and Dila Gori was abandoned in the last minutes of the game, when disappointed supporters of Anorthosis invaded the pitch. Since there is no formal match result, the winner of this match is seeded in the 4th qualifying round draw with the highest coefficient of both contenders.

The twelve group-winners and twelve runners-up of the group stage qualify for the second round. The clubs that finish this stage in third or fourth position in their group are eliminated. The 24 teams that qualify are joined with 8 teams from the Champions League who finished at the 3rd position in the CL group.
The draw for the 2nd round takes the following rules into account:
a) Clubs from the same association must not be drawn against each other,
b) The 12 group-winners and the 4 best third-ranked teams in the Champions
League group stage are drawn against the 12 group runners-up and the
remaining third-ranked teams in the Champions League group stage,
c) The winners and runners-up of the same group cannot be drawn against each other,
d) Group-winners and the 4 best third-ranked in the Champions League
group stage play the return leg at home.
