UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase Draw Marks Historic First Under New Format

The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League draw, held at Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum on August 29, introduced a new league phase format. The draw featured 36 teams divided into four pots, with each team set to play eight single-leg matches—four at home and four away—against opponents from different pots. This season’s draw marks the first under the revamped structure, aiming for a more balanced and competitive group stage.

Key matchdays are scheduled from September 2024 to January 2025, with games occurring on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Notable teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich lead Pot 1, while competitive clubs such as Arsenal, Juventus, and AC Milan populate the other pots.

The draw process was a blend of manual and digital elements, ensuring transparency and fairness. UEFA’s regulations guided the complex draw procedure, balancing competitive integrity and logistical feasibility.

This season’s UEFA Champions League promises exciting fixtures and a fresh approach to European football’s most prestigious tournament. The full match schedule will be released on August 31.
