Union St.-Gilloise vs Celtic Biglietti

When and where the match is played

Union St.-Gilloise host Celtic in the Europa League on Thursday 28 January 2027, with kick-off at 21:00 local time at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion in Leuven, Belgium. The fixture is part of the Europa League League Phase, the single-table format the competition runs before its knockout stage, and it pairs a Belgian Pro League club against a Scottish Premiership side.

Why this fixture matters

Union St.-Gilloise play their European home fixtures at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion in Leuven, a venue that gives the club a dedicated setting for continental nights away from their usual domestic ground. Celtic travel from Scotland as one of the League Phase clubs on Union St.-Gilloise's schedule, bringing a large and vocal travelling support to Belgium for the match. Both clubs carry a run of other League Phase fixtures over the same period, with home advantage for this particular tie sitting with the Belgian side.

Choosing where to sit

King Power at Den Dreef Stadion is a compact venue, which means fans across most sections get a close view of the action rather than sitting a long way back from the pitch, whatever tier they choose. Travelling Celtic supporters should decide between a seat among the home crowd or a section more likely to be set aside for visiting fans, since exact seating categories and their locations vary between the sellers this page compares. Checking StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365 together makes it easier to weigh up pricing and availability before booking a seat for this fixture, and it is worth checking again closer to the date.

What to expect from this European night

Given the size of Celtic's travelling support in past European ties, King Power at Den Dreef Stadion is likely to feel busier and louder than it would for a typical Belgian Pro League weekend. The venue's more modest capacity compared with Celtic's own home ground means the atmosphere should carry across the whole stadium rather than being spread thin.

Getting to King Power at Den Dreef Stadion

Leuven is a short journey from Brussels by train, which makes it a manageable destination for travelling Celtic supporters flying into Belgium. Kick-off is set for 21:00 local time, Europe/Brussels, so fans travelling from Scotland should plan their journey and any overnight stay around a late evening finish to this Europa League fixture.
