European Cup constellations

As Austria Wien finished eleventh in the UEFA five-year classification at the end of last season, the following European Cup starting positions will be available for the 2019/20 season.

If the UEFA Champions League winner also qualifies for the UCL through his league, the Austrian champion will enter the Champions League group stage. The Austrian Cup winner enters the UEFA Europa League group stage.

The Austrian runner-up will join the UEFA Champions League in Q3 if the UEFA Europa League winner qualifies for the UEFA Champions League through his league. In this case, the runner-up, even if eliminated in the UCL qualification (in Q3 or in the play-off) would be at least represented in the UEL group phase. If the UEL winner does not qualify for UCL through his league, the Austrian runner-up will be joining Q2 in the UEFA Champions League.

If the Cup winner (final on May 1^st in the Generali-Arena) is simultaneously among the top two in the league, the place for the UEFA Europa League group stage will pass on to the third place in the Bundesliga.

In this case, the league’s fourth will join the UEFA Europa League in Q3. The league fifth plays in two games against the winner from the duel between seventh and eight (one and two from the qualifying group) for the last European Cup ticket (Q2 UEL). The EC play-off matches will be played directly after the final championship round on May 28^th, May 30^th and June 2^nd.

The UEFA Europa League final will be on May 29^th, the UEFA Champions League final on June 1^st.
