After last Thursday, August 28, learning about the opponents for the Champions League group stage, Benfica now knows the official dates for the eight matches it will play in this first round of the European competition. Among the scheduled duels, the Eagles will start their campaign playing at Estádio da Luz.

Through its official platforms, the Clube da Luz announced the match dates, as stipulated by UEFA. The Glorious' European journey will begin on September 16, at Estádio da Luz, with a match against Qarabag at 8:00 PM, theoretically the most accessible opponent for the Reds.

Two weeks later, on September 30, Benfica returns to European nights, with a trip to London, marking a reunion with Chelsea and Enzo Fernández, after the 4-1 defeat in the Club World Cup. Almost a month later, on October 21, for the 3rd matchday, the Eagles return to the land of Her Majesty, this time to face Newcastle United.

In November, another reunion with familiar faces is scheduled, but this time at Estádio da Luz. On November 5, the Glorious will host Bayer Leverkusen, where former left-back Alejandro Grimaldo plays. Later, on November 25, the Reds will board a plane again, this time heading to Amsterdam to visit Ajax. However, before the end of the year, on December 10, Bruno Lage's team will host David Neres and Napoli, the current Italian champion.

To conclude the group stage journey, in January Benfica will play the last two games, starting with a new visit to Turin, as happened in 2024/25, against Juventus (January 21). To finish, the Reds and Whites will end at home, hosting Real Madrid, in a very special reunion with Álvaro Carreras.
