How to Watch the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League Draw: Live Stream, TV Info, and Schedule
The UEFA Champions League returns with its third season under the revamped format. This year, 36 clubs will learn their opponents for the league phase. The new structure features teams playing against eight different clubs, split evenly between home and away matches. Each squad faces two opponents from Pots 1, 2, 3, and 4, determined by a supercomputer that picks all eight adversaries with one automated action.
Pot 1 Highlights
Paris Saint-Germain aims to make history with a third consecutive title. Other Pot 1 teams include Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Manchester United and last season's Europa League winners, Aston Villa, appear in Pot 2.
