The 2026/27 competition is the third season under the 36-team league-phase format. The league phase began on 8 September 2026 and runs until 27 January 2027, before the knockout rounds lead to the final in Madrid on 5 June 2027. For wider football coverage, visit our Football coverage.

Champions League fixtures are spread across eight league-phase matchdays before the competition moves into the knockout phase.

The Champions League no longer uses the traditional eight-group system. All 36 clubs are ranked together in one league table. Each team plays eight league-phase matches against eight different opponents: four at home and four away.

A win is worth three points and a draw one point. The final league-phase position also affects seeding in the knockout rounds, so the table remains important through Matchday 8. For the latest standings as the season changes, check SP Score.

The 2026/27 Champions League league phase contains 36 clubs from across Europe. England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France all have multiple representatives, while clubs from countries including Azerbaijan, Austria, Greece, Norway and Slovakia are also part of the league phase.

The league-phase draw places the teams into four seeding pots. Each club faces two teams from every pot, with one home and one away match against opponents from each pot. Teams cannot face another club from the same domestic association during the league phase.

After the league phase, the knockout phase play-offs decide the remaining places in the round of 16. From the last 16 onwards, the competition continues through two-legged knockout ties in the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals before a one-match final.

The 2026/27 Champions League final will be played at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid on Saturday, 5 June 2027. Paris Saint-Germain enter the season as defending champions after winning the competition in both 2025 and 2026.
