Qualified clubs by pot:

How the draw and the league phase work (source: UEFA):

“With the new format, teams will play eight matches in the league phase (formerly the group stage). They will no longer face three opponents twice (home and away), but eight different opponents — half at home, half away.

To determine the eight opponents, teams are first split into four pots. Each team is then drawn to face two opponents from each pot, playing one match at home and one away.

Clubs from the same country cannot face each other in the league phase, nor can more than two teams from the same league be drawn against the same opponent.”

Qualification rules:

  • 1st to 8th place → automatic qualification for the Round of 16
  • 9th to 24th place → play-off round (two legs)
  • 25th to 36th place → eliminated from all European competitions
