Draw Rules
The 36 participating teams are divided into four pots based on their coefficient rankings, with the UEFA Champions League title holder as the top seed in Pot 1. Starting with Pot 1, a physical ball is drawn first, and then the automated software (implemented last year) will assign eight opponents to each team, following these principles:
Two teams from each of the four pots will be drawn, and each pot team will play one home match and one away match against the assigned opponents;
- Teams from the same association will not face each other;
- No team will face more than two opponents from the same association.
- Each team’s Champions League Group Stage fixtures and kick-off times will be announced by August 30.
