Second Leg Fixtures — April 17
The marquee tie of the UECL quarter-finals. Crystal Palace host the second leg at Selhurst Park — Oliver Glasner's side look to use their electric home atmosphere to overcome Fiorentina, the serial Conference League semi-finalists. La Viola have reached the UECL semi-finals three times in a row — Palace are the side trying to end that run.
The Franco-German derby continues at Mainz's Mewa Arena. Strasbourg's travelling fans will hope to make this tie feel like a home game for them — but Mainz's compact stadium and organised defensive structure make them formidable hosts.
Rayo Vallecano host at their passionate Estadio de Vallecas in working-class Madrid. AEK Athens bring significant European experience but Rayo's ground is one of European football's most intimidating intimate atmospheres.
Shakhtar Donetsk continue to play their home matches at neutral venues due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. AZ Alkmaar have been excellent this season in European competition and will look to capitalise on any first-leg advantage.
UECL Final — Wrocław, May 2026
The UEFA Conference League Final 2026 takes place at Stadion Wrocław in Poland. The path goes through semi-finals in early May before the final. Crystal Palace and Aston Villa (in UEL) represent England's best chances of a European final appearance in years.
