The 2023/24 Europa Conference League is markedly different from the Champions League and Europa League.
The top five leagues in Europe have taken over the Champions and Europa League. LaLiga has three representatives in the last 8 of the Champions League. The Premier League has two representatives. Bundesliga has two representatives and Ligue 1 with one representative.
The Premier League has 2 representatives in the European second tier, and Serie A has three representatives. Bundesliga has one representative. Portugal Primeira Division has one representative while Ligue 1 has one.
