New UCL Format Explained

The UEFA Champions League has undergone a significant overhaul 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 The traditional 32-team group phase has been replaced by a 36-team league, where each team plays eight games.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 automatically qualify for the round of 16, while the bottom eight are eliminated.

Teams that finish between ninth and 24th enter a playoff round to determine the remaining eight spots in the knockout stage. The knockout phase continues with the Round of 16, where seeded teams face unseeded teams, followed by quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.
