Watch the Europa League and Conference League in Side

Watch the Europa League and Conference League in Side at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar, Side old town. Both run mainly on Thursday nights, and with 5–6 TVs we can show different matches at once. Message ahead for big games and we'll set a screen. The Europa League final is in Frankfurt on 26 May 2027.

Thursday nights are European nights

Tuesdays and Wednesdays belong to the Champions League; Thursday is when the Europa League and the Conference League take over. For a holiday in Side that is handy: the beach day is done, dinner is on the table, and the second-tier European competitions often throw up the most open, chaotic football of the week. If you want the Tuesday and Wednesday side, read our Champions League in Side guide.

Hawaii Restaurant & Bar has been in Side old town since 2000 and is open daily from 10:00 to 02:00. We run 5–6 TVs on paid sports subscriptions, so on a busy Thursday a Europa League tie and a Conference League tie can be on different screens at the same time. We never promise a specific match on a specific screen, though: message us on WhatsApp (+90 533 930 12 83) and we'll set a screen for your game.

Remaining league-phase dates

Both competitions use a single 36-team league phase. The Europa League plays eight matchdays and the Conference League six. These are the remaining scheduled matchdays as of 14 November 2026; please check the official fixture list, as dates and kick-off times can move for TV.

The Conference League league phase wraps up before Christmas, so Thursday 17 December is its last league night of 2026. The Europa League carries on into January.

Knockout timing

In both competitions the top eight go straight to the round of 16, while the clubs finishing 9th to 24th meet in two-legged knockout play-offs. Every tie is two-legged up to the semi-finals, and the final is a single match.

Exact kick-off times for these rounds are set by UEFA nearer the time, so check before you plan your evening. Remember that Türkiye stays on UTC+3 all year: until 27 March 2027 Central European kick-offs are two hours later here, and from 28 March they are one hour later.

The two finals

Europa League final: Frankfurt, 26 May 2027

The Europa League final is scheduled for Wednesday 26 May 2027 at the Frankfurt Arena (the Waldstadion), with kick-off at 21:00 local time, which is 22:00 in Türkiye. That is a comfortable late-evening slot in Side, with plenty of time for dinner first.

Conference League final: Istanbul, 2 June 2027

The Conference League final is scheduled for Wednesday 2 June 2027 at the Beşiktaş Stadium in Istanbul, kicking off at 22:00 Türkiye time. A final on Turkish soil is a big occasion for Turkish fans. One caveat: there has been discussion of moving it to the New Ankara Stadium if that ground is completed, so the venue is not fully final. Check UEFA's announcements nearer the date.

Who's involved: English, German and Turkish clubs

These clubs reached the 2026–27 league phases:

• Europa League, England: AFC Bournemouth, Sunderland, Crystal Palace.
• Europa League, Germany: Bayer Leverkusen, TSG Hoffenheim.
• Europa League, Türkiye: Beşiktaş (through the play-off round).
• Conference League, England: Brighton & Hove Albion.
• Conference League, Germany: SC Freiburg.
• Conference League, Türkiye: Trabzonspor.

German supporters following Leverkusen, Hoffenheim or Freiburg midweek can pair these nights with weekend league football; see our Bundesliga in Side guide. For English weekends, there is the Premier League in Side page.

The Turkish angle: Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor

Being in Türkiye for a European night adds something. Beşiktaş carry Turkish hopes in the Europa League and Trabzonspor in the Conference League, a competition whose final is itself scheduled for Istanbul. For Turkish guests, and for visitors who like to follow the local clubs while they're here, Thursday nights give a real taste of how much European football matters in this country. Tell us which club you're following when you message, and we'll try to set a screen for that game.
