UEFA Champions League new format explained:

2024-25 is the first year UCL will use a “Swiss” system that, among other changes, replaces the group stage with a league phase.

Previous UCL tournaments began with a group stage where 32 teams were divided into eight groups of four, similar to the group stage used during this summer’s Euro. From there, each team would play each opponent in their group twice — home and away — before advancing to a knockout stage.

In this new format of play, the league phase has expanded into 36 teams, and rather than seeding and organizing the teams into groups, each team will play eight different teams, half at home and half away. The teams are organized into a single league competition with all 36 teams ranked together.

The scoring hasn’t changed, though; winners will get three points while clubs that finish in a draw get one point each.

This is, in part, to give clubs and opportunity to test themselves against a wider range of opponents. It also provides fans more opportunities to see top teams go head-to-head more often and earlier in the tournament.

From there, the top eight clubs across the board will automatically move into the Round of 16, while the teams that finish 9th through 24th will compete in a knock-out style playoff to qualify.

Beyond the UCL, this new format will also be used in Europa League and UEFA Conference League matches.

When is the next UEFA Champions League matchday?

UCL Matchday 2 will take place on Tuesday, October 1 and Wednesday, October 2.
