League format : UEFA Champions League 2026/2027
The new UEFA Champions League format, starting in the 2024/25 season, features 36 teams in a single league instead of the traditional group stage. Each team will play eight matches against different opponents, half at home and half away. The top eight teams will advance directly to the round of 16, while teams ranked 9th to 24th will enter a knockout playoff round. The knockout phase retains its two-legged ties, culminating in a single-match final.
