Fenerbahçe's potential opponents in the UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round have been determined. The yellow-navies, who finished the Super Lig season in second place, will begin their European adventure in July.
According to the current picture, Fenerbahçe's potential opponents include the Austrian representative Sturm Graz, the Scottish side Hearts, and the team that will finish the Polish League in second place. From Poland, Gornik Zabrze, Jagiellonia, and Rakow are among the possibilities.
RESULTS IN EUROPE COULD CHANGE THE PICTURE
Fenerbahçe's pool of opponents could change depending on the UEFA Europa League final and the Premier League standings. If Aston Villa wins the Europa League trophy and finishes the Premier League in the top 4, Bodo/Glimt and Olympiacos will advance directly to the next round.
In this scenario, Sturm Graz would be removed from Fenerbahçe's list of potential opponents. Thus, the yellow-navies' potential opponents would be reduced to Hearts and the runner-up of the Polish League.
DRAW DATE AND MATCH SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
The draw for the UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round will be held on June 17, 2026. Fenerbahçe will play its first match on July 21-22. The return legs will take place on July 28-29, 2026.
