Since 1998, the Europa League winner has been determined in a final match. Previously, when the competition was called the UEFA Cup, there was a first leg and a second leg between the two finalists.
This year the final will take place on Wednesday 29 May at 9 pm. It will therefore only be played a few days before the Champions League final on 1 June. The venue will then be the Baku National Stadium in Azerbaijan’s capital.

In addition to DAZN, RTL Nitro will also be showing the encounter live.
