From 2016 on Fair Play teams no longer qualify for the Europa League.
This seeding list is according to the new format of the 2018-21 period. All clubs eliminated in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League are transferred to the Europa League. For details, see the new Access List 2019/2020. Both the Champions League and the Europa League have a preliminary round.
Although the regulations no longer require the use of regional groups (as used before 2009), until now UEFA still uses some kind of regionalization in the 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 Europa League title holder (Chelsea) qualified for the CL group stage by the domestic league, so there will be an open spot in the access list for EL-Q3, because there are now only two teams transferred from CL-NCQ2 to EL-Q3. This implies that the cup winner of the 18th country on the ranking list (Israel) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winner of the 25th country on the ranking list (Serbia) has direct access to the 2nd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 50th and 51st countries on the ranking list (Wales and Faroe Islands) have direct access to the 1st 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 94 teams are divided into 7 groups of 10 teams
and 2 groups of 12 teams. For the groups with 10 teams the pairs (5 vs 7), (8 vs 2),
(10 vs 1), (3 vs 6), and (4 vs 9) were drawn, and for the group with 12 teams
the pairs (3 vs 8), (9 vs 1), (6 vs 12), (5 vs 7), (4 vs 10), and (2 vs 11)
were drawn. The draw groups were as follows:

After the draw AS Roma was granted direct access to the group stage, and was replaced by Torino.
The champions path in the Champions League is rebalanced, because the Champions League title holder already qualified for the CL group stage. This implies only 16 losers of CH-Q1 qualify for this round, and the champions path in the Europa League also needs to be rebalanced. Like last year a draw will used to determine one team (in fact the loser of a tie) that will get a bye to the next round.
In this round the clubs eliminated in the 1st qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League are seeded. Seeded clubs are drawn against unseeded clubs until there are no seeded or no unseeded clubs left, at which point the draw becomes open and no seeding applies anymore.
