Live European Competition Rankings: Premier League Leads, Bundesliga 2nd, La Liga/Serie A 3rd/5th, Ligue 1 9th
With the conclusion of this round’s Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League matches, the standings of this season’s European competition rankings have witnessed new changes. As the number of European competition rounds increases, all of Europe’s top five leagues except Ligue 1 have returned to the top five of the rankings.
The allocation of additional Champions League spots this season will follow the same rules as last season: the top two leagues in the European competition rankings for the season will each receive an extra Champions League berth.
A league’s European competition points this season are the average of the points earned by all its teams participating in European competitions. If a team is eliminated in the qualifying rounds, it will no longer earn points from subsequent matches but will still be counted as a "denominator" in the average points calculation.
In addition, teams that qualify directly for the Champions League group stage will be awarded 6 European competition points upfront; points will also be settled based on the final group stage rankings and progression results in each round.
Below is the live top 15 European competition rankings and the points of each league (no elimination status indicated means no teams from the league were eliminated in qualifying rounds):
