O sorteio da Uefa, realizado nesta quinta-feira, definiu grandes confrontos na fase de liga da Champions League, como PSG x Barcelona, Arsenal x Real Madrid e Bayern de Munique x Manchester United. O torneio mantém o formato duas últimas edições, sem a fase de grupos. Os 36 times foram divididos para o sorteio em quatro potes, de acordo com o ranking da Uefa, com nove representantes cada — os melhores rankeados estão no pote 1.
Cada time terá oito jogos, quatro em casa e quatro fora, sendo dois adversários de cada pote, e a disputa pelas vagas no mata-mata acontece em formato de pontos corridos. Após as oito rodadas, as oito equipes com melhor campanha avançam diretamente às oitavas de final. Quem terminar entre a nona e a 24ª colocação vai para a disputa dos playoffs. Já os times que ficarem de 25º a 36º são eliminados na fase de liga.
A primeira rodada será disputada nos dias 8 e 9 de setembro, enquanto a última será em dia único, em 27 de janeiro de 2027. O calendário será anunciado pela Uefa até o próximo sábado, com definição de rodadas, datas e horários.
