Key dates for new format

September 3, 2024 Trending News

Anticipation is building for the Champions League 2024/25 schedule. The Round of 16 phase remains the same as usual. However, the route to the Round of 16 has evolved from the traditional group stage to a larger ‘League Phase’.

Instead of 32 teams in the competition, there will now be 36. Every team is assigned eight opponents to play, with four games at home and four being away. Points procured from these games will determine a team’s position in the league table, and the top eight in the final league table after the final Matchday will automatically qualify for the Round of 16.

Teams finishing 9th-24th in the league table will play each other in playoff games to determine who progresses to the Round of 16. Teams who finish 25th-36th will be eliminated from the competition entirely. While this means more matches being added to an already intense schedule for the players, it ensures high-quality clashes every Matchday during this season’s Champions League.

Our Pick:
Includes: Champions League, Europa League, Serie A, NWSL, Argentine Primera, Brasileirão, Scottish Premiership, Women’s Super League, & More
