Aston Villa Europa League the Champions League the Premier League Bournemouth (Organization) Brighton (Organization) Freiburg the Conference League UEFA Champions League
  • The Premier League is guaranteed to have five teams in next season’s Champions League due to being one of the top two European leagues with the highest Uefa coefficient.
  • However, there could now be six English teams in next season’s competition following Aston Villa’s win over Freiburg in the Europa League final.
