Overview of the New UCL 2024/25 Draw Format
This season has seen a significant transformation in UEFA’s flagship tournament. The traditional 32-team group stage has been replaced by a 36-team league format. Each team competes in eight matches, with the top eight automatically advancing to the round of 16, while the bottom eight are eliminated without the option to enter the Europa League.
Teams finishing between ninth and 24th will enter a playoff round to determine which eight will progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.
The Round of 16, adhering to the previous format, features seeded teams competing against unseeded teams, leading to the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and ultimately the final match.
