Mark Hughes has confirmed Blackburn will enter the Intertoto Cup if they do not qualify for Europe automatically.
Mid-table Rovers' Uefa Cup exit leaves them to seek qualification through their Premiership position for a second season in a row.
But the Blackburn boss is eyeing Intertoto Cup as a failsafe.
Hughes said: "More clubs see the Intertoto as a decent option, they changed the format and it's a more attractive competition."
Rovers went out of the Uefa Cup to Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 on aggregate at the last-32 stage on Thursday following a goalless draw at Ewood Park.
Blackburn face a replay against Arsenal to keep their FA Cup hopes alive and Hughes is looking for his side to put a good run of form together to carry them into a high enough position to qualify for a Uefa Cup spot.
Hughes said: "We need to pick up points in the league and our home form is going to be crucial."
