Counting all of the 86 games the side have played in UEFA competitions since their first entry into the Cup Winners' Cup in the 1996–97 season, the team's record stands at 32 wins, 22 draws and 32 defeats.

The club plays its home matches at Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium, an all-seater stadium in Baku. Since the last rebuilding in 2012, it can host 31,200 spectators.[3] The record attendance for Qarabağ in a European match occurred 30 July 2014, in a 2014–15 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round match attended by 32,000 fans against Red Bull Salzburg which ended with a 2–1 win for the Qarabağ.[4] Qarabağ biggest wins is 5–0 against Samtredia in the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League qualification, while the biggest defeats is 0–6 against Copenhagen in the 1998–99 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and Montpellier in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Qarabağ has played Metalurg Skopje, Twente and Copenhagen four times, more than any other team.

In 2017, after beating Copenhagen 2–2 (on away goals) in the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League, Qarabağ became the first Azerbaijani club to reach the group stage.[5] They were drawn in Group C alongside Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Roma, where they managed to obtain two points in six games after two draws and four losses.[6]

The 2021–22 season saw Qarabağ progress from the group stage of a European competition for the first time, finishing second place in their UEFA Europa Conference League group after six matches. In the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League, Qarabağ progressed in second place in a group containing German club Bayer Leverkusen, Swedish club BK Häcken, and Norwegian club Molde. After progressing to the knockout round play-offs, they were drawn against Braga of Portugal. In the away leg, Qarabağ scored four goals to win 4–2 in Portugal, the first time an Azerbaijani club had defeated a Portuguese club in an official UEFA competition.
