2025-26 Champions League Format
The Champions League format we've all known to love has changed, so let's break it down:
- Instead of having 32 teams split into eight groups, there will now be one league that houses all 36 qualified teams.
- Each team will play eight games against randomly selected opponents (based on pot seedings) — four home and four away.
- Three points for a win, one point for a draw.
- The Top 8 teams on point total will qualify for the Round of 16, while the teams that finish between 9th and 24th will play a two-legged playoff, with the winners securing their spot in the Round of 16.
- From there, the competition will continue as normal with a two-leg home and away fixture for each tie onwards until the Finals, which is a winner-takes-all match at a neutral venue.
The Champions League draw will take place on August 28, 2025, and the tournament will get underway on September 16, with the league portion wrapping up on January 28, 2025.

Understanding Champions League odds
These odds are constantly adjusted throughout the summer as players get hurt, suspended or transfer. Once the season begins, title odds will change as teams win and lose games and as more players get hurt or are suspended. Sportsbooks will also adjust the Champions League odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.
Champions League odds will usually look like this:
- Bayern Munich +1000
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $1000 if Bayern wins the Champions League. If it's close to the end of the tournament, you might see that a team has a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds.
- Barcelona -120
This means that you would need to bet $120 to win $100 on a Barcelona championship.
