What time is the draw?

How the draw works
Just like last year, the draw will follow the 'Swiss model' format.
All 36 teams will be competing in one big league and will play eight games, four away and four at home.
The teams are seeded into four pots and will play two teams from each pot (one home, one away).
Teams from the same country cannot play against each other and a team can only be drawn against a maximum of two teams from any given country.
The draw itself will be executed partly manually, with balls physically drawn from a bowl, and partly digitally, through a designated automated software.
Hello and welcome!
The wait is finally over and today all 36 teams participating in this year's competition will learn their league phase opponents.
Stay with us throughout the evening to find out who will play who!
