There are multiple cup competitions that occur during the course of the domestic season. League Cup: participants include the top four leagues with the Premier League teams being seeded into the competition last. This is the least prestigious competition and teams often field youngsters as a way of giving them game time. FA Cup: This competition actually encompasses the entire footballing pyramid so non-league sides (ie lower than League Two) can potentially play PL teams if they perform well enough. The final is always held after the close of the domestic season at Wembley Stadium in London. Europa League: this is an international competition held across Europe. It plays second fiddle to the Champions League in terms of prestige. Teams are decided based on league position from the previous season as well as based on UEFA coefficient (UEFA is the governing body for European teams). PL teams that finish in 5th through 7th places, and any British team that wins the FA Cup are entered into the Europa League. Champions League: this is arguably the biggest yearly competition in the world. This is where PL teams have the chance to face off against the biggest European teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Juventus. The top four teams in the PL qualify for the Champions League. Also, any team that wins the Europa League is automatically qualified for the CL as is the case with Manchester United this season.
