The Champions League 2026 is already beginning to be felt and this Thursday, August 28, at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, France, the draw for the league phase of the 71st season of the top European club competition will take place, which will start on July 8, 2025 and will continue until the final in Budapest, Hungary, on Saturday, May 30, 2026.

Format of the Champions League 2026 draw

The mechanics of the draw are as follows: the 36 teams participating will be divided into four pots according to their UEFA coefficient, with PSG designated as the head of pot 1 as they are the last champions of the tournament. The draw will start with this pot (the one), from which a ball will be physically drawn before the automated software —the same one used last year— determines the eight rivals of each team.

The selection criteria are clear: each club will face two rivals from each of the four pots, with one match at home and another away. In addition, teams from the same federation cannot cross each other nor exceed the limit of two opponents belonging to the same federation.
