On Thursday evening, Borussia Dortmund will find out its eight opponents in the Champions League. Here you can find all the information on the draw, the pots, and the live broadcast.

For Borussia Dortmund, all eyes will be on Monaco on Thursday evening. That is where the opponents for the league phase of the 2026/27 Champions League season will be determined. From 6 p.m., it will be decided which eight teams BVB will have to face in Europe’s top club competition. The draw will take place at the Grimaldi Forum.

The field consists of a total of 36 clubs. Based on the UEFA club coefficient, Borussia Dortmund is in pot two. BVB will be drawn against two opponents from each of the four pots. That means four home matches and four away matches await the Black and Yellows. Matchups against teams from the same pot are also possible.

The pots at a glance:

Pot 1: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool FC, Inter Milan, Manchester City, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid

Pot 2: Borussia Dortmund, AS Roma, Sporting Lisbon, Aston Villa, FC Porto, Manchester United, Club Brugge, Real Betis, PSV Eindhoven

Pot 3: Feyenoord Rotterdam, Lille OSC, FK Bodø/Glimt, Napoli, RB Leipzig, Villarreal CF, Fenerbahce Istanbul, Shakhtar Donetsk, Galatasaray Istanbul

Pot 4: Slavia Prague, VfB Stuttgart, SK Slovan Bratislava, LASK, Como 1907, RC Lens, Viking Stavanger, AEK Athens, Sabah FK

Champions League: BVB could face Real Madrid

However, matches against clubs from the same national association are excluded. Dortmund therefore cannot be drawn against Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, or VfB Stuttgart. In addition, each club may be drawn against no more than two opponents from the same country. Even so, there is still the prospect of several high-profile clashes. In pot one, possible BVB opponents include Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool FC, Manchester City, and FC Barcelona.
