Understanding the New UCL 24/25 Draw Format

The UEFA Champions League has undergone significant changes this season. The traditional 32-team group phase has been replaced by a 36-team league, where each team plays eight games. The top eight teams in the league automatically qualify for the Round of 16, while the bottom eight teams are eliminated without the option to drop down to the Europa League.

The teams that finish between ninth and 24th place enter a playoff round, where they compete for the remaining eight spots in the knockout phase. The Round of 16 then proceeds with the seeded teams facing the unseeded teams, followed by the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and ultimately the final. This new format brings a fresh dynamic to the competition, with more teams competing in the league phase and a new playoff round adding an extra layer of excitement.

Upcoming UEFA Champions League Knockout Games Schedule

The UEFA Champions League knockout phase is just around the corner. 

Here are the key dates to mark in your calendar:

• Round of 16: March 4th/5th (first leg) and March 11th/12th (second leg)
• Quarter-finals: April 8th/9th (first leg) and April 15th/16th (second leg)
• Semi-finals: April 29th/30th (first leg) and May 6th/7th (second leg)
• The Final: May 31st in Munich
