The 2022-23 UEFA Europa League Group Stage is all set to commence from September 8, 2022. The nine-month-long tournament will end on May 31, 2023, with the UEL 2022-23 final to be held at Budapest's Puskas Arena.
The first round of fixtures will take place on September 8. A total of eight matches are scheduled to be played on that day, at 10:15 PM IST with Group A heavyweights Arsenal travelling to FC Zurich. Manchester United host Spanish side Real Sociedad in the headline fixture of the opening round at 12:30 AM IST.
The 2022-23 UEFA Europa League Group Stage draw took place on August 26, 2022, where the 32 participating teams learnt the identities of their respective opponents.
Arsenal are clubbed with FK Bodo/Glimt (Norway), FC Zurich (Switzerland) and PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands) in Group A, whereas in Group E, Manchester United are all set to face Omonia Nicosia (Cyprus), Real Sociedad (Spain) and FC Sheriff (Moldova).
Sheriff came into the limelight last season after they defeated eventual Champions League winners Real Madrid in their own backyard in the group stage.
Arsenal, Manchester United and last year’s inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League winners AS Roma will begin the upcoming UEL campaign as early favorites. However, the real tests await them after the group stage, when the eight UCL teams, who finished third in their respective groups, will feature in the UEL knockout rounds playoffs.
