The 2025-26 UEFA Champions League uses a single 36-team league table instead of traditional groups. Each club plays eight fixtures determined by a draw that matches teams from four pots ordered by strength. Clubs play two matches, one home and one away, against teams from each pot. The league phase continues into January, with all 18 games on the final matchday kicking off simultaneously. Standard kickoff time is 3 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. UK, with specific matches marked for earlier start times. The published Jan. 28 fixtures list highlights matchups across top European clubs.
Under the new format all 36 teams are in one league table. The league phase will stretch into January, with all 18 games on the final matchday being played at the same time. Rather than placing teams into groups, the draw created eight fixtures for each club. There are two matches, one at home and one away, against teams from each of the four pots which are ordered by strength.
