A first European season with eight different opponents
Bournemouth's debut in European competition starts with a league phase, so the Cherries face eight different clubs across four home and four away matches. A visit from Milan is one fixture, not the start of a two-legged league-phase tie with a return at San Siro.
English clubs could not be drawn together in this phase. Supporters will therefore find continental opponents on this schedule rather than another Premier League meeting with Palace or Sunderland. The two October home dates and two November away dates below show how that first European autumn is distributed.
Four away dates for Bournemouth fans
Spain, Czechia and Norway
After Real Sociedad, Bournemouth visit Sparta Prague on 5 November and Celta on 26 November. Those consecutive away rounds mean there is no Bournemouth home Europa League fixture in November. The remaining away game is at Lillestrøm on 21 January 2027.
Bournemouth's home European programme
Sturm Graz and Milan occupy the October home dates. Viktoria Plzeň follow on 10 December, and Hapoel Beer-Sheva visit for the league-phase finale on 28 January. This gives Bournemouth a home finish after the January trip to Norway.
AFC Bournemouth: fan questions

Do Bournemouth have a home Europa League game in November?
Their two November league-phase fixtures are away: Sparta Prague on 5 November and Celta on 26 November.
