Following a disappointing exit from the Champions League qualifiers in Baku, Hapoel Be'er Sheva has learned its eight opponents for the 2026-27 UEFA Europa League group stage. While the teams may not be as high-profile as those in the Champions League, the group includes notable clubs such as Juventus, Celta Vigo, and Besiktas, with matches scheduled both at home and abroad, including a trip to England to face Bournemouth.
The Europa League campaign promises to be challenging, especially compared to the Conference League, where last season Maccabi Tel Aviv managed only one point from 24 possible and ended with a goal difference of 22:2 over eight matches. Hapoel Be'er Sheva's group features Juventus (home), Bournemouth (away), Alkmaar (away), Dinamo Zagreb (home), Union Saint-Gilloise (away), Celta Vigo (home), OFI Crete (home), and Besiktas (away).
The group stage matches are scheduled from mid-September 2026 through late January 2027, with eight rounds taking place between September 16-17, 2026, and January 28, 2027. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how many points Hapoel Be'er Sheva can secure in this competitive European campaign.
