Europa League 26/27 playoff draw: TV and streaming details plus Rangers potential opponents
Here’s who Rangers could face in the Europa League playoff - and how to watch the draw live.
Rangers will discover which side they could face next in their quest to qualify for the Europa League with the draw for the playoff set to get underway early next week.
Having been drawn against Jagiellonia Bialystok in the third qualifying round, Rangers are now just two steps away from qualifying for the League Phase of a competition they reached the final of just four short years ago.
However, before they can begin to map out their European tour for the 2026/27 campaign, they must first progress past their third-round qualifiers. Rangers will head to Jagiellonia on August 6 for a first-leg clash at the Bialystok City Stadium, before they welcome their Polish opponents to Ibrox a week later for the second leg. Should they win, they’ll enter the playoff stage and be just one two-legged tie away from qualifying for the Europa League proper.
However, should they lose, the European campaign would not grind to an immediate halt, with Rangers immediately dropping into the Conference League playoffs.
