From 2016 on Fair Play teams no longer qualify for the Europa League.
Although the regulations no longer require the use of regional groups (as used before 2009), UEFA still uses some kind of regionalization in the first qualifying rounds. 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 spot is not used since Real Madrid already qualified for the group stage by the domestic league. This implies that the Europa League title holder Sevilla gains access to the Champions League group stage, leaving an empty spot in EL-Q3. In order to fill the gap the cup winner of the 18th country on the ranking list (Cyprus) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 26th and 27th countries on the ranking list (Norway and Serbia) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europas League.
On May 18 the UEFA Executive Committee decided that the domestic champion and the domestic cup winner of Kosovo will be admitted to the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. For this season the clubs of Kosovo will have to meet the special permission licensing criteria under article 15 of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play regulations. However, the Kosovar clubs did not get a license. This implies that the champion of the 46th country on the ranking list (Latvia) has direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League, and the cup winner of the 28th country on the ranking list (Slovenia) has direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.

In the qualifying rounds the teams are divided into groups with the same number of seeded and unseeded teams. A few hours before the draw 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 4) 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 96 teams are divided into 8 groups of 10 teams
and 2 group of 8 teams. For the groups with 10 teams the pairs (5 vs 7), (9 vs 2),
(1 vs 10), (4 vs 6), and (3 vs 8) were drawn, and for the group with 8
teams the pairs (6 vs 3), (2 vs 7), (8 vs 4), and (5 vs 1) were drawn.
The draw groups were as follows:
Group 1
seeded: Stabæk IF, Hearts FC, Linfield Belfast, FK Ventspils, FC Midtjylland
unseeded: Víkingur, Suduva Marijampole, Cork City, Infonet Tallinn, Connah's Quay
Group 2

Group 10
seeded: Dacia Chisinau, FK Aktobe, Zaglebie Lubin, Slovan Bratislava
unseeded: Kapaz Ganja, Slavia Sofia, MTK Budapest, Partizani Tirana
Unseeded teams in the 1st qualifying round that qualify for the next round take effectively the coefficient of their opponent in the next round: MTK Budapest replaced the seeded team FK Aktobe (8.075), Shirak Gyumri replaced the seeded team Dila Gori (5.625), Buducnost Podgorica replaced the seeded team Rabotnicki Skopje (5.200), Cliftonville replaced the seeded team Differdange 03 (4.800), RoPS Rovaniemi replaced the seeded team Shamrock Rovers (4.590), Shkendija Tetovo replaced the seeded team Cracovia Kraków (4.500), Cork City replaced the seeded team Linfield Belfast (4.400), Kapaz Ganja replaced the seeded team Dacia Chisinau (4.325), Connah's Quay replaced the seeded team Stabæk IF (4.100), Europa FC replaced the seeded team Pyunik Yerevan (3.825), FK Jelgava replaced the seeded team Breidablik (3.750), and Birkirkara replaced the seeded team Siroki Brijeg (3.675). 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 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.
