Each team will face two sides from each pot, one at home and one away, and teams cannot be drawn against other clubs from the same nation, nor can they be drawn against more than two sides from the same country.

Thursday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport has rated all the Champions League clubs for the 2025-26 campaign, including Serie A sides, from one to five stars.
