The Europa Conference League may not boast a glowing reputation, but every single team involved would love to win it.
Try telling the raucous Roma and Feyenoord fans at the inaugural final that this competition doesn’t matter. Try telling the first ever ECL-winning manager, Jose Mourinho, that this competition doesn’t matter.
You can expect a slow start to proceedings as teams field younger, weaker XIs, but as the competition progresses, the quality will rise and competition will explode into being.
West Ham and Hearts are the only British sides involved in the competition this year, and fans of both sides will be keen to enjoy every moment of their European travels this autumn.
David Moyes’ side have set up a pair of great clashes with Anderlecht, while Hearts fans can look forward to the tantalising prospect of a trip to – and visit from – Fiorentina.
RadioTimes.com brings you the complete guide on how to watch Europa Conference League fixtures, including every game you can watch live in the UK and highlights involving a British team. We’ll keep you updated throughout the whole season.
