Beşiktaş Draws Leverkusen, Marseille, and Crystal Palace in 2026/27 Europa League Phase
The 2026/27 UEFA Europa League league phase draw has assigned Beşiktaş one of the statistically hardest schedules in the tournament. The Istanbul club will host Olympique Marseille (France), Union SG (Belgium), Crystal Palace (England), and Hapoel Beer-Sheva (Israel) at home. Their away fixtures include challenging trips to face Bayer 04 Leverkusen (Germany), Celtic (Scotland), and Omonia (Cyprus). The fixture against Hapoel Beer-Sheva marks another match against an Israeli opponent, following the 2024 clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv which was relocated to Hungary due to security concerns.
