Kazakhstani football clubs in European competitions
This page summarises the results and performance of Kazakhstani football clubs in European football tournaments. It started in the 2002–03 season, after the Football Federation of Kazakhstan became the 52nd member of UEFA. FC Astana-64 (by that time Astana), in the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League, were the first club to advance in a European tournament. Tobol reached the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup by winning three rounds of the Intertoto Cup in 2007. Shakhter were the first team to reach group stage of any competition in 2013, qualifying to UEFA Europa League after being defeated in UEFA Champions League play-off round. FC Astana became the first ever Kazakhstani team to reach UEFA Champions League group stage in 2015, passing three rounds of qualification and play-offs.
Summary
Due to Kazakhstan's spring-autumn league season, Kazakh clubs are able to start their European campaign only for the next season. Current club allocation is as following: 1 club (champion) for the Champions League 2nd qualifying round, 3 clubs (league runner-up, 3rd placed team and cup winner) for the Europa League 1st qualifying round.

Notes
- – Historical names shown in brackets according to respective seasons
- (1) Tobol did not apply for Intertoto Cup 2002
- (2) No club went through appropriated licensing procedures to play on a European stage for 2004–05 season[1]
- (3) Only Kairat went through appropriate licensing procedures to play on a European stage for 2005–06 season
- (4) Club failed to comply with licensing
- (5) Intertoto Cup has been discontinued after season 2008.
- (6) Almaty and Megasport officials announced that the two clubs have merged to a new team called Lokomotiv, who inherited Almaty UEFA Europa League 2009–10 spot earned through Kazakhstan Cup 2008. However, Lokomotiv were eventually denied the UEFA License for competing in Europa League due to legal difficulties when creating the new club. Thereby, the potential candidates for one spot left in Europa League were Kaisar, Zhetysu, Shakhter and Okzhetpes. Kaisar and Shakhter were, however, denied a license and Zhetysu eventually withdrew from Europe due to financial difficulties. That left Okzhetpes, 9th positioned club in season, as the third Europa League participant.
