Watch Europa League 2025/26 Round of 16 as the tournament's top sides compete in two-legged tie to reach the quarterfinals. It's a straight knockout from now until May's final in Istanbul and the draw has thrown up some mouthwatering ties that are unmissable.

First among equals is Lille vs Aston Villa, a repeat of their Europa Conference League quarterfinal two years ago. The rivalry mainly centers around pantomime villain goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who received two yellow cards but wasn't sent off because bookings don't carry over after full-time and into the shootout, during which he 'shushed' opposition fans. Expect fireworks.

Bologna vs Roma is an all-Italian tie between two of Serie A's finest sides, while Nottingham Forest and Morgan Gibbs-White will hope their European form continues, against Midtjylland, despite a poor domestic season in the Premier League.

Expect literal fireworks in Greece where the visceral Panathinaikos will throw out all the stops against Real Betis, who are having a fine La Liga season and are in contention for a Champions League spot next term.

Here's how to watch the 2025/26 Europa League last 16 live streams from anywhere in the world.
