UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Draw IN FULL

The draw for the league phase of the revamped 2024/2025 Champions League has been completed, introducing a fresh “Swiss-style” format that will replace the traditional group stage.

This new approach marks a significant shift in the competition’s structure, bringing several changes that fans will need to get accustomed to.

One of the most notable changes is the expansion of participating teams from 32 to 36. Additionally, the league phase will now extend until the end of January, as opposed to the usual conclusion in December.

Under the new format, the top eight teams at the end of the league phase will automatically advance to the knockout stages.

Teams finishing in positions 9 to 24 will enter a two-legged playoff round to secure their spot in the Round of 16. Unfortunately, the teams that finish between 25th and 36th place will be eliminated from all competitions.

Here are some of the key fixtures from the draw:
