The draw for the group stage of the 2025-26 Champions League has revealed its verdict.
In a format that was revamped for the first time last year, the 36 participating teams are no longer divided into groups, but are all included in a single overall table. As a result, each of the teams will face eight opponents to determine their final ranking.
The eight highest-ranked teams at the end of the league phase will automatically qualify for the round of 16, while those placed between ninth and 24th will compete in two-legged play-offs to determine the other eight teams that will take part in the knockout phase.
The final schedule for the group stage of the 2025-26 Champions League will be unveiled on Saturday 30th August.
The first league phase match day will be played between 16th-18th September, while the last is scheduled for 28th January 2026.
