The Conference League is the third-tier competition in European football and the most recently developed addition. The tournament originated in 2021, and no clubs qualify directly for the group/league stage. Instead, teams eliminated from qualifying and playoff rounds of the Europa League compete against those who make it through the Conference League qualifications.
In 2024, the tournament changed its name and format, entering a new era of European competitions with a league structure. Instead of separating teams into multiple smaller groups, they all compete in one group and face more teams during the base stage. After six games each, the 24 top-ranking teams enter the following stages, with the eight best going straight to the round of 16 while the remaining teams battle it out for the remaining eight spots.
Being a part of the elite group makes Conference League odds highly interesting to all football fans across the globe. So, these games are favoured among punters, and football betting is very popular, especially in the elimination rounds.
