From 2016 on Fair Play teams no longer qualify for the Europa League.
This seeding list is according to the 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 2020/2021. 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.
Because of the limited timeframe available (due to the coronavirus), the qualifying rounds will be played in single legs (instead of home and away), with the only exception of the UEFA Champions League Play-offs (Q4) which will remain being played over two legs. A draw will determine which club will play the single leg in their stadium.
The use of the Champions League title holder spot and the Europa League title holder spot was still unknown at the draws of the first qualifying rounds at August 9/10. That means that the original access list was used.
After the CL semi-final at August 19 it became clear that the Champions League title holder (Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern München) qualified already for the CL group stage by the domestic league, so the access list in later draws will be re-balanced as follows:
After the EL quarter-finals at August 11 it became clear that the Europa League title holder (Sevilla, Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, or Internazionale) qualified already for the CL group stage by the domestic league, so the access list in later draws will be re-balanced as follows:

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.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions the 94 teams of the 1st round are divided into
13 groups of 6 teams and 2 groups of 8 teams. For the groups with 6 teams the
pairs (2 vs 4), (1 vs 5), and (3 vs 6) were drawn, and for the group with 8
teams the pairs (7 vs 3), (6 vs 2), (4 vs 5), and (8 vs 1) were drawn. The draw
