Why the Sturm Graz games are outside this Europa League record
Hearts' July trip to Sturm Graz ended in a 4–0 defeat, but the club's report identifies it as Champions League qualifying. Those matches form part of Hearts' wider European season, not the Europa League results displayed here.
Benfica were the Europa League opponents in August. A 6–1 defeat in Lisbon and a 1–1 draw in Edinburgh produced a 7–2 aggregate loss. Fans comparing this page with Hearts' complete calendar will consequently see fewer matches here because the calendar also covers that earlier Champions League tie.
Hearts' recent qualifying-stage entries
UEFA records Europa League play-off appearances in 2022/23 and 2024/25, and the third qualifying round in 2026/27. The club's older 2004/05 UEFA Cup campaign reached the group stage.
