Celtic vs Besiktas Competition – Europa League Stadium: Celtic Park Date: 5th November 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Celtic Park hosts the first ever meeting between Celtic and Besiktas on Thursday night, and the two sides arrive at opposite ends of the Europa League league phase table. Celtic are 35th without a point after three games, while Besiktas sit eighth on seven and are unbeaten in the competition so far. Both clubs drew or lost at the weekend, with Celtic beaten 2-0 at Falkirk and Besiktas held 2-2 at Kasimpasa. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.
Celtic have two wins, a draw and two defeats from their last five, and they are winless in two. Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Falkirk was the latest, four days after a 2-2 home draw with Dundee United. Before that, they won 2-1 at Hibernian and lost 2-1 at home to Celta Vigo in the Europa League, while the oldest result is a 7-1 thrashing of Hearts at Celtic Park. That makes 12 goals scored and eight conceded, but seven of those goals came in the Hearts game, and Celtic have conceded in all five matches.
Besiktas have two wins, two draws and a defeat from their last five, scoring nine and conceding eight. Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Kasimpasa was the latest, six days after a 2-0 home win over Basaksehir. Earlier in the run they drew 2-2 at home with Crystal Palace in the Europa League, lost 2-0 at Trabzonspor and won 3-2 at Hoffenheim in Europe. Their two European games in the sample produced a win and a draw, with five goals scored.
There is no previous meeting between the clubs in the head-to-head record, so Thursday’s game at Celtic Park will be the first. The league phase standings offer the clearest contrast. Celtic have lost all three of their games, conceding nine, while Besiktas are unbeaten with nine goals scored.
Besiktas sit eighth in the league phase on seven points, while Celtic are 35th without a point. A Celtic win would take them to three points and up to 29th on current standings, level on points with the sides from 22nd to 28th.
In the UK, the match is live on TNT Sports 3 with streaming on HBO Max, while in Turkey it’s on TRT 1, with tabii and Digiturk Play streaming. US viewers can watch through Paramount+ or ViX.
