The new format means there will be alterations to the draws, staged at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo on 29 and 30 August, which we explain here.

From the 2024/25 season, 36 clubs will participate in the newly created league phase (former Group Stage) of the UEFA Champions League, giving four more sides the opportunity to compete in Europe’s premier club competition. Under the new format, teams will play eight matches against eight different teams, rather than three teams twice as was previously the case. The new format will give fans more competitive and balanced matches on all levels throughout the league phase.
