Benfica already knows the full schedule for the 2026/27 Europa League regular phase, with the debut set for September 16, Wednesday, at 20:00, in a trip to San Siro to face Milan, a team managed by Ruben Amorim and where Gonçalo Ramos plays. This match comes at a delicate time in the red and white's schedule, as it will be played just a few days before the trip to the Dragão to face FC Porto in the 7th round of Liga Betclic, with the classic expected to be scheduled for Sunday.
In the following round, the eagles host Celtic at the Estádio da Luz, the current Scottish champions who suffered a major setback in the qualification for the Champions League. The clash is set for October 15, at 20:00. Later, Benfica travels to Cyprus to face Omonia, before hosting Lech Poznan.
