The Champions League is UEFA's top club competition. 36 clubs contest the league phase — one shared table, eight matches each against eight different opponents — 29 of them entering directly and seven coming through qualifying. Qualifying runs in two parallel paths, one for domestic champions and one for everyone else, every tie over two legs — and a qualifying loser is usually not out of Europe: at most stages the losers drop into the Europa League. After the league phase the top eight go straight to the round of 16, clubs placed 9th to 24th meet in a two-legged knockout play-off, and the bottom twelve are out of Europe altogether — no club drops out of the league phase into a lower competition. The final is in Madrid on 5 June 2027. UEFA publishes all dates as subject to change.

First qualifying round

Who plays · 28 champions of Europe's lowest-ranked associations open the competition — 14 ties. There is no preliminary round this season, so qualifying starts here. The losers stay in Europe: they drop into the Conference League's second qualifying round, two of them straight into its third.

Draw · Drawn 16 June 2026.

When · First legs 7-8 July, second legs 14-15 July 2026.

How it works · Two legs, aggregate score, no away-goals rule; level after both legs means extra time and then penalties in the second leg.

Third qualifying round

Who plays · The champions path fields its twelve second-round winners; six higher-ranked non-champions enter the league path against the two league-path winners — ten ties in all.

Draw · Drawn 20 July 2026.

When · First legs 4-5 August, all second legs 11 August 2026.

How it works · Two legs; the aggregate winner advances.

Play-off round

Who plays · The last gate before the league phase: the champions of the four best associations without a direct place enter against the champions-path winners, and the four league-path winners pair off — seven ties for seven league-phase places.

Draw · Monday 3 August 2026 in Nyon — made before the third qualifying round finishes, so a pairing can name the winner of a tie still to be decided.

When · First legs 18-19 August, second legs 25-26 August 2026.

How it works · Two legs; the winner reaches the league phase, and every loser is still in Europe — placed in the Europa League's league phase.

How it works · One shared 36-club table, three points for a win. The top eight go straight to the round of 16; 9th to 24th drop to the knockout play-offs; 25th to 36th are out of Europe altogether.
