Benfica’s third away match comes on matchday three, on October 28, with a trip to London to face Arsenal. The English side is one of the competition’s main forces and won the Champions League in 2007 and 2025, lifting the most recent trophy in Lisbon.

Along the way, the Eagles will also have three matches at the Estádio da Luz. The first home game will be against Bayern Munich on September 30, followed by clashes with Austria Vienna on November 11 and Roma on November 19.

Juventus secured their place in the league phase after coming through the qualifiers, where they eliminated Torreense 2-1 in the final of the first qualifying round. Austria Vienna and HB Køge also reached this stage through qualification, while Benfica, Roma, Arsenal and Bayern Munich qualified directly.

The Reds are now aiming to surpass their best-ever run in the competition: the quarter-finals reached in 2023/24. The following season, Benfica were knocked out in the qualifiers, while in 2025/26 they fell short in the league phase.
