The format remains the same as last season. In drawn matches, the 36 teams play eight times. The top eight advance directly to the round of 16, while those ranked ninth to 24th compete in a pre-round of 16 playoffs. The last twelve teams are eliminated.

The highlights are the matches involving Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Both teams were drawn into tough matchups: PSG will face Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Newcastle, while Xabi Alonso's team will face five Champions League winners.

The league phase begins on September 16 and runs until January 28, 2026. The dates and times of the matches will be announced this Saturday. The Champions League final will be on May 30, 2026, at the Puskás Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
