The MEGOGO media service will stream the first leg of Basel vs. Copenhagen live on August 20, 2025.

Since the early 2000s, the Swiss club has been eliminated four times in the final qualifying stage. In the 2004/05 season, the Red-and-Blues fell to Inter (1-1, 1-4), and a year later to Werder Bremen (2-1, 0-3). In the 2012/13 campaign, the team from the German-speaking half-canton could not get past Romanian side CFR Cluj (0-1, 1-2). In the 2015/16 tournament, the club missed out on the group stage due to the away goals rule. Basel drew twice against Maccabi Tel Aviv (1-1, 2-2) and conceded a decisive second goal at home in the 90+6 minute, which proved to be the turning point of the tie.

Since the early 2000s, Copenhagen will be playing in the Champions League qualification final for the thirteenth time. In seven cases, the Lions were sent to the UEFA Cup/Europa League. In the 2006/07 season, the Danish giant knocked out Ajax (1-2, 2-0), and four years later, eliminated Rosenborg (1-0, 1-2). In the 2016/17 campaign, the city club upset APOEL (1-0, 1-1), and in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 tournaments, they overcame Trabzonspor (2-1, 0-0) and Polish side Raków (1-0, 1-1), respectively.
