Thursday nights
Thursday kick-off blocks in Kenyan time
A Europa League matchday plays all 18 games on one Thursday. Half kick off at 18:45 Central European Time, 20:45 EAT this winter, and the other half at 21:00, which is 23:00 EAT.
The two blocks make the Europa League fixtures the busiest European night on the Kenyan clock, and the list sets each block apart: the early games end at about 22:35 EAT, just before the late ones start.
After 28 March 2027 the knockout rounds use 19:45 and 22:00 EAT. Ties for each knockout round appear as soon as the draw is made, with both legs on the list.

Thursday night scores
Played Europa League fixtures come next as Thursday’s scores and those of the week before, newest first, each with its match night. They update the Europa League table and the next Europa League predictions.
A Thursday slip with legs from both blocks keeps its last leg open until about 00:50 EAT. Clubs that play again on Sunday in a tight league race rest key players, so check the team news on the day.
A lost early leg ends the slip before the 23:00 EAT games start, so the first block decides whether the rest of the night matters for your slip.
