Five British teams are in the hat, with Leicester, Arsenal, Tottenham, Celtic and Rangers all eager to see who they draw.
When is the Europa League group stage draw?
- The draw will be held on Friday, October 2.
- It takes place in Nyon, Switzerland at Uefa’s HQ – but is behind-closed-doors and without an audience due to the ongoing pandemic.
- Things get underway at midday BST.
Which TV channel and live stream can I watch it on?
You can catch the draw in full on BT Sport 1 here in the UK.
BT customers can also download the app to stream wherever they are.
