Czech Supercup

As winners of the previous season's Gambrinus liga, Plzeň played defending cup winners FK Jablonec in the Czech Supercup on 12 July. Plzeň's manager Pavel Vrba left many key players on the bench before the first leg of the second qualifying round of Champions League, which was four days later.

Plzeň took an early lead and despite other chances, the first half ended 1–0. During the second half, Jablonec were the better team and scored two goals in a six-minute spell to take the lead. In the 89th minute Tomáš Wágner from Plzeň had a disallowed goal because of offside. In stoppage time Jablonec scored their third goal and although three minutes later Plzeň scored, the match finished 2–3.

UEFA Champions League

Plzeň came through three qualifying rounds including the playoff round before reaching the group stage. The club lost all of their first five group stage matches. In the final group stage match, losing 1–0 to CSKA Moscow at home with 76 minutes played, CSKA had two players sent off and Plzeň scored two goals as the match finished 2–1. This result qualified them for the Europa League.[3]
