Brighton and Hearts have learned who their opponents in the UEFA Conference League will be following Friday’s draw. Both British clubs will host AS Monaco in this year’s competition, which was won by Crystal Palace last season. The Seagulls will also travel to Spain and Greece to face Getafe and Panathinaikos respectively, while Hearts face a long haul trip to Turkey to take on Mo Salah’s Trabzonspor. Three of the last five editions of the Conference League have been won by Premier League sides, giving Brighton boss Fabian Hürzeler hope they can find success in the competition as well. He said: “In every cup competition you have chances so of course, in certain moments you need a little bit of luck, a little bit of momentum but overall I think the success from the English teams is also the belief, the confidence to do it so we know it is a different year, a different area so let’s see how it’s going this season.”Conference League draw for Brighton and Hearts in 2026/27Brighton:Monaco (home)Panathinaikos (away)Universitatea Craiova (home)Getafe (away)Kauno Zalgiris (home)Jablonec (away)Hearts:Monaco (home)Pafos (away)Borac (home)Trabzonspor (away)Nordsjaelland (home)Thun (away)Read – UEFA Europa League draw for British clubs in 2026/27League phase dates:Matchday 1: 15 October 2026Matchday 2: 22 October 2026Matchday 3: 5 November 2026Matchday 4: 26 November 2026Matchday 5: 10 December 2026Matchday 6: 17 December 2026Knockout phase dates:Knockout phase play-offs: 18 & 25 February 2027Round of 16: 11 & 18 March 2027Quarter-finals: 8 & 15 April 2027Semi-finals: 29 April & 6 May 2027Final: 2 June 2027, IstanbulRead – UEFA Champions League draw and fixtures in full for 2026/27Read More – Five of the best Premier League away kits in 2026/27See Also – Yankuba Minteh ‘committed’ to Brighton amid Liverpool linksFollow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Conference League draw as Brighton and Hearts learn fate appeared first on The Football Faithful.
