🧠 Everything you need to know about Monday's UCL and UEL draws | OneFootball

It’s an exciting day in the European football calendar as the draw will be made for the Champions League and Europa League knockout phases.

Here’s the lowdown on Monday’s draw.

When is the Champions League draw?

The draw takes place at 12pm CET on Monday from Uefa’s HQ in Nyon, Switzerland.

Which teams are in the Round of 16 draw?

Confirmed group winners (seeded)

Confirmed group runners-up (unseeded)

Any special rules?

As usual, teams from the same country cannot face each other in the Round of 16, nor can clubs face each other if they already met in the group stage.

What’s different about the Champions League this year?

Well in case you’d forgotten, there’s actually going to be a pretty huge change this season, with the away goals rule having been scrapped.

That means ties that are level 180 minutes will go to extra time irrespective of the number of goals each team has scored at home and away. If the teams still cannot be separated after the additional 30 minutes, the tie goes to a penalty shoot-out.

Exciting.

When does the Round of 16 take place?

The first legs are scheduled for 15/16/22/23 February, with the second legs on 8/9/15/16 March.

The draw for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will then take place on Friday 18 March.

What about the Europa League draw?

That also takes place on Monday, one hour after the Champions League draw.

This year it’s going to be a little different, with a 16-team play-off round to take place featuring the eight runners-up from the Europa League group stage and the eight third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage.

Which teams are in the Europa League draw?
