NEC's Turin opener falls between two Eredivisie games
NEC's official calendar places Cambuur away on 12 September, Juventus away on 17 September and Go Ahead Eagles at home on 20 September. For supporters following both competitions, the Turin trip sits inside an eight-day run with two domestic league fixtures.
Juventus is the European match in that sequence. The first Nijmegen home date in the Europa League comes later, against Levski Sofia on 15 October, before NEC visit Dinamo Zagreb on 22 October. These separate domestic and European dates make it easier to plan the opening part of the campaign.
Two home November rounds and Benfica in January
Omonia and Rennes visit first
NEC host Omonia on 5 November and Rennes on 26 November. They then travel to Ararat-Armenia on 10 December. Benfica's visit on 21 January is the last home league-phase game, followed by Celje away on 28 January.
NEC's earlier UEFA Cup knockout appearance
UEFA records NEC reaching the round of 32 in 2008/09 and the first round in 2003/04. The 2026/27 entry is the league phase of the modern Europa League.
