Later in July the club played its first ever fixture in the Europa League, drawing 1–1 with Turkish side Beşiktaş in the third qualifying round of the competition. Their European run was to be short-lived as the Turkish club won 3–0 in the return leg, sending Plzeň out of the competition, 4–1 on aggregate.
Despite being the defending champions of the Czech Cup, the club could only reach the quarter final stage, where they suffered a 4–2 aggregate loss to fellow Gambrinus liga side Mladá Boleslav. In the Gambrinus liga, the club celebrated their first title as they won the league by a single point from second-placed Sparta Prague.

The third round match at Graffin Vlašim was another comfortable game, with Plzeň emerging 2–0 winners.
