Champions League draw LIVE!

The draw for the league phase of the 2025/26 Champions League is upon us with no fewer than six Premier League teams set to discover their opponents in Monaco this evening. English champions Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are all placed in pot 1 alongside holders Paris Saint-Germain and the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Arsenal in pot 2 and Europa League winners Tottenham ending their three-year absence from the competition in pot 3.

Newcastle return in pot 4, but there is no Celtic or Rangers this season after they both fell in the last round of qualifying this week. There are four Champions League debutants among the 36 teams involved in Bodo/Glimt, Pafos, Union Saint-Gilloise and Kairat Almaty, with each club set to play eight league phase fixtures in total.

Teams will be drawn by a computer against two sides from each pot, with four matches at home and four away, with matchday 1 coming up next month and the final being held in Budapest in May 2026. Follow the Champions League draw live below!
