Champions League: common questions
Since 2024/25 the Champions League has a single 36-team league phase instead of eight groups. Each club plays eight matches against eight different opponents. The top eight go straight to the round of 16, clubs finishing 9th to 24th play a two-legged knockout play-off, and clubs from 25th down are eliminated.
Eight: four at home and four away, against eight different opponents drawn from four seeding pots, two from each pot.
The league phase runs from September to January. The knockout play-off follows in February, the round of 16 in March, the quarter-finals in April, the semi-finals in late April and early May, and the final at the end of May or start of June.
Every round before the final is played over two legs, home and away. The team with more goals on aggregate goes through; if it is level, there is extra time and then penalties. Away goals no longer count double. The final is a single match at a venue chosen in advance.
Cristiano Ronaldo, with 140 goals, ahead of Lionel Messi. Ronaldo also holds the single-season record of 17 goals, set in 2013/14.
The standings refresh every six hours and the fixtures every hour, so results from a matchday show up the same night or the next morning.
How the Champions League works
The UEFA Champions League is Europe’s top club competition. This page follows the current season: the league phase table, the next fixtures with kick-off times and venues, and the race for top scorer.
The league phase
Since 2024/25 there are no groups. All 36 clubs are ranked in one table, and each plays eight matches against eight different opponents, four at home and four away. A win is worth three points and a draw one. Clubs level on points are separated by goal difference, then goals scored, then further UEFA tie-breakers.
Who goes through
| Position | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1st–8th | Straight into the round of 16 |
| 9th–24th | Two-legged knockout play-off for the other eight places |
| 25th–36th | Eliminated from European competition |
The coloured bar next to each position in the standings table shows these three zones, so you can see at a glance who is safe, who is heading for the play-off and who is in danger.
Knockout rounds and the final
The play-off, round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals are all two-legged ties decided on aggregate, with extra time and penalties if needed. Away goals no longer count double. The final is a single match at a venue picked in advance, usually at the end of May.
The top scorer race
The Top Scorers tab lists the leading goalscorers of the current season with their goals and assists. Eight league phase games give strikers more chances to score than the old group stage did, so totals in the teens are within reach for the very best. The record for one season is 17, set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013/14.
