Linfield’s UEFA Conference League journey for the 2026/27 season will begin in Estonia after the Blues were drawn against Estonian side Nõmme Kalju FC in the First Qualifying Round.

The draw, held by UEFA on Tuesday, paired David Healy’s men with the Tallinn-based club, setting up an intriguing European test as Linfield look to continue our proud continental tradition.

Nõmme Kalju, one of Estonia’s most recognisable clubs, have extensive experience in European competition and will provide a challenging hurdle for the Blues as they aim to progress to the next stage of the UEFA Conference League.

The ties are currently scheduled to be played on 9 and 16 July, with final fixture details, kick-off times and venue arrangements to be confirmed by UEFA and the participating clubs in due course.

Linfield supporters eager to follow the team on the road are advised to wait for official confirmation before making any travel arrangements.

Important Notice: Supporters should not book travel or accommodation at this stage. Fixture details remain subject to official confirmation and any travel plans should only be made once the club has announced the final arrangements.
