The draws for the quarterfinals and semifinals of the 2020-21 UEFA Europa League will be made at midday GMT / 8 a.m. ET on Friday, March. 19.
Teams from the same country can be drawn against each other.
After the quarterfinal draw, a separate draw is also held for the semifinals and there is then a third draw to decide who would be considered the "home" team for the final.
For the quarterfinals and semifinals, teams from the same city are not allowed to play at home on the same day, due to logistics and crowd control. To avoid such a scheduling conflict, if the two teams are drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team with the lower domestic ranking in the qualifying season is reversed from the original draw (domestic cup winners have first priority).
The final will take place in Poland at the Stadion Miejski in Gdansk on Wednesday, May 26.
