The UEFA Europa League (previously known as the UEFA Cup), abbreviated as UEL, is an annual football club competition organized since 1971 by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) for eligible European football clubs.

It is the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA Champions League and above the UEFA Conference League.

The winner of the UEFA Europa League qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup, for the following season’s UEFA Champions League since the 2014–15 season, entering at the group stage, as well as for the UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge — a friendly cup against the winners of the CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana — since 2023. In the 2024–25 season, the group stage was replaced with an expanded league phase.

Spanish clubs have the highest number of victories (14 wins), followed by teams from Italy (10 wins) and England (9 wins). The title has been won by 30 clubs, 14 of which have won it more than once.

The most successful club in the competition is Sevilla, with seven titles. Colombian striker Radamel Falcao holds the record for the most goals (17) scored in a single season of the tournament.
