While the Blues might have bigger priorities in mind this season, failing to win this trophy would be a major surprise.

Indeed, Chelsea won all eight of their games in the League phase of the competition and even their B-team look capable of going all the way.

Out of both domestic cup competitions and facing a battle to qualify for the Champions League next season through the Premier League, it’s a tournament that offers the potential of some welcome silverware for Enzo Maresca.

Still, while Chelsea are strong favourites, anything can happen in knockout football.

With that in mind, here’s a look at all you need to know about the Conference League last-16 draw.

Date, start time and venue

The last-16 draw for the Conference League takes place at 2pm GMT on Friday February 21, 2025 at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
