Overview

  • The Champions League league‑phase draw begins at 18:00 on 28 August in Montecarlo, starting with a physical ball from Pot 1 before software assigns eight opponents per club under seeding and federation limits, with PSG in Pot 1 as title holder.
  • Europa League and Conference League draws take place together at 13:00 on 29 August at the Grimaldi Forum in a fully digital format with no balls on stage.
  • For the Europa and Conference draws, a single activation of the system will generate all pairings instantly, including home and away designations.
  • UEFA will publish the Champions League match calendar by 30 August, with the Europa and Conference calendars to follow by 31 August.
  • Under the league‑phase model, teams face eight opponents (six in the Conference), the top eight advance, places 9–24 enter playoffs, and the bottom 12 are eliminated, with software enforcing restrictions such as no same‑federation matchups and a maximum of two opponents from the same association.
