How can 10 English teams participate in European cups next season?

The 2024/25 Premier League title race is almost over as Liverpool are very close to the throne. Just need to defeat Tottenham at Anfield next Sunday (April 27), The Kop will officially be crowned, at the same time equaling MU's record of 20 English championships.

At the bottom of the table, the relegation battle is almost over. Leicester City and Southampton have been relegated to the Championship while the 15-point gap to safety is too big for Ipswich Town.

However, the remainder of the season remains tight, with more than 10 clubs competing for a place in next season's European Cup. After improving their UEFA coefficients, the Premier League has five tickets to the 2025/26 Champions League. Liverpool and Arsenal are almost certain to qualify, but only three points separate third and seventh places. This means Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Man City, Chelsea and Aston Villa are still in with a chance.

There are still four English clubs in the semi-finals of three European cups.

In addition to the five places mentioned above, England will also have another Champions League ticket if MU or Tottenham, the two teams that have reached the Europa League semi-finals, win the championship in the final night held at San Mames, Bilbao (Spain).

As for the Europa League next season, England will have two official places for the team finishing 6th in the Premier League and the FA Cup winner. In case the FA Cup winner has already qualified for the Champions League, the team finishing 6th but not yet playing in Europe will qualify. In addition, Chelsea will also have a place if they win the Conference League this season and fail to qualify through the Premier League rankings.

With the 2025/26 Conference League, Newcastle are now guaranteed a place thanks to winning the 2024/25 League Cup. However, it is likely that the Magpies will play in the Champions League (or Europa League), their place will be given to another high-ranked team in the Premier League.

It is entirely possible that up to 10 English clubs will participate in European cups next season.

So, the scenario of up to 10 teams participating in European cups next season is completely possible. That is when Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Man City are the five teams at the top of the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League. MU or Tottenham will also join this group if they win the Europa League.

That would give Aston Villa a Europa League place, while seventh-placed Bournemouth would take Newcastle's place in the Conference League. Chelsea would be second in the Europa League if they win the Conference League, while Crystal Palace would be third if they win the FA Cup. In this scenario, there would be six English teams in the Champions League, three in the Europa League and one in the Conference League in 2025/26.
