In early August 2026, two Azerbaijani clubs were active in UEFA’s third‑qualifying rounds. Qarabağ FK’s tie against Dynamo Kyiv was scheduled for 6 August at the Lublin Arena in Poland, with a Danish referee crew, and the return leg set for 13 August in Baku under an English team. Simultaneously, Sabah FC began its campaign on 5 August in Denmark against Orhus, overseen by a separate officiating team. Both matches were broadcast live on national television. The fixtures left Sabah and Qarabağ as the sole Azerbaijani representatives remaining in the tournament.
