What is the Champions League?
The Champions League is an annual club competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) with all top-division European clubs competing for the coveted title. These include representatives from the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and La Liga, among others. The Champions League is considered to be one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world!
The old format saw the League begin with 32 teams in late June with a preliminary round, three qualifying rounds and a play-off round, all played over two legs. The six winning teams enter the group stage, joining 26 teams who qualified in advance. These 32 teams were then drawn into eight groups of four teams and play each other in a double round-robin system.
The eight group winners and eight runners-up proceed to the knockout phase, culminating in the final match around May/June. The Champions League winner qualifies for the following year’s Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
The new 2024/25 Champions League season the format now expands to 36 clubs, offering four more teams the chance to face Europe’s finest. These 36 clubs will battle it out in a unified league, where every team is ranked together, creating an even more thrilling competition with non-stop action and the ultimate test of skill and strategy.
