Hajduk has secured the status of qualifier in the first round of the Europa League after Universitatea Cluj ended up second in the Romanian league. This happened after Craiova convincingly beat Universitatea Cluj 5-0 in the penultimate round, securing the title of Romanian champions. Universitatea Cluj has a lower European coefficient than Hajduk, which means Hajduk is guaranteed to be the qualifier.

While it is known that Hajduk is a qualifier, the exact opponents are still unknown and depend on the Europa League final between Aston Villa and Freiburg on May 20. If Aston Villa wins, the UEFA will rebalance the access list, resulting in only 12 teams in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. In this scenario, Hajduk would have six potential opponents, with four confirmed non-qualifiers being: IF Vestri (Iceland), Derry City (Ireland), Aluminij (Slovenia), and Universitatea Cluj (Romania).

If Freiburg wins, 16 teams will participate in the first qualifying round. In this case, the five non-qualifiers are: IF Vestri (Iceland), Derry City (Ireland), Aluminij (Slovenia), Universitatea Cluj (Romania), and Vojvodina (Serbia). The remaining three non-qualifiers are likely to be Žilina (Slovakia), Hammarby (Sweden), and the Bulgarian cup winner, which is either CSKA Sofia or Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
