FC Utrecht have been drawn against the likes of FC Porto and Nottingham Forest in their first UEFA Europa League main draw since 2010.

FC Utrecht finished fourth in last season's Eredivisie and qualified for the second round of the UEFA Europa League's qualifying phase. After easily disposing of Sheriff Tiraspol and eliminating Servette in the third round, Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar were beaten 2-0 over two games.

A memorable group phase in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League season, with games against Napoli and Liverpool, saw FC Utrecht leave the competition early, despite staying unbeaten in five of their six group stage matches.
