French media outlet ouest-france has explored the latest UEFA documents and introduced the changes to the UEFA European competition points rules for the next three seasons.
Starting this season, the Champions League has expanded, and the Europa League and the Conference League will also undergo corresponding changes. As one of the most important indicators of UEFA: UEFA European competition points (UEFA coefficient) statistics will also change.
Previously (from the 2021-22 season to the 2023-24 season), the detailed rules were: each team that enters the Champions League group stage earns 4 points for its league. Winning the Champions League group first or second (meaning qualifying for the knockout stages) earns 5 points, the Europa League earns 1 point, and the Conference League earns no points. However, the Europa League group winner can earn an additional 4 points, and the group runner-up earns 2 points; the Conference League group winner earns 2 points, and the group runner-up earns 1 point, while the Champions League does not have group ranking points rewards. Starting from the quarter-finals, each step forward by a Champions League or Europa League team will earn 1 point for its league. In addition, match points are 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
Now (from the 2024-25 season to the 2026-27 season), some details have not changed (such as 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw). Important changes are as follows: Firstly, the 36 teams participating in the Champions League directly earn 6 points, while the Europa League and the Conference League do not. Secondly, starting from the Round of 16 in the three major cups, the points earned for each step forward have changed, the Champions League earns 1.5 points for each step forward, the Europa League earns 1 point, and the Conference League earns 0.5 points.
French media believes that after the scoring rules are changed, the current European competition points situation of major European leagues may change dramatically.
