UEFA website –
“Under the new format, teams will play eight matches in the new league phase (formerly the group stage). Instead of facing three opponents twice—home and away—they will now face eight different teams, playing half of these matches at home and the other half away.”
Qualification based on the final standings:
1st to 8th place: Qualification for the Round of 16.
9th to 24th place: Qualification for a two-legged knockout play-off round.
25th to 36th place: Elimination from all European competitions.
