Rebalancing

• Defending UWCL champion: Barcelona (ESP)
  • Barcelona is already qualified for the Main Stage, so UWEC champion is promoted from C3 to Main Stage.
  • The highest-ranked team from C2 (Sparta Praha) is promoted to C3.
  • The highest-ranked team from C1 (Ferencvaros) is promoted to C2.
• Defending UWEC champion: Hacken (SWE)
  • Hacken is promoted to C3 Main Stage.
  • The next highest-ranked team from C1 (Gintra) is promoted to C2 to fill Hacken's spot.
• Suspension of Russia: There is one fewer entrant in C1.
• Number of entries: Assuming the same associations that entered in 2025-26 enter in 2026-27, the above modifications leave 20 teams in C1.
  • The next-highest-ranked team from C1 (Racing Union) is promoted to C2.
  • C1 runs with 19 teams in 5 groups.

Timeline of Rebalancing Events

• May 1: Hacken wins the Europa Cup, and is placed in C3. Gintra, as one of the two highest teams in C1, is promoted to C2.
• May 2: Arsenal is eliminated from the Champions League, meaning the UWCL holders will already be in the Main Stage. Hacken is promoted to Main Stage. Racing Union, as one of the three highest teams in C1, is promoted to C2.
• May 28: Ferencvaros wins Hungary's title. As the highest team in C1, they are promoted to C2.
• May 30: Austria Wien wins Austria's title, ensuring that Sparta Praha is the highest team in C2 and is promoted to C3.

Licensing Issues

Some teams that would have qualified failed to receive UEFA licenses. As a result, the teams below them in their domestic competition have been bumped upwards. These teams are marked with (*) above and listed here:

• Ukraine: Vorskla Poltava finished 3rd, but is replaced in E1 by Kolos Kovalivka.
• Cyprus: Aris Limassol finished 2nd, but is replaced in L2 by Omonia.
• Serbia: Crvena Zvezda finished 1st, but is replaced in C2 by TSC. TSC in turn is replaced in E1 by Spartak Subotica.
