The UEFA Champions League 2025–26 is underway as Europe’s premier men’s football clubs take on each other. A total of 36 teams will feature in the tournament in a format that was revamped last edition.
Each team will play four matches at home and four matches away, starting on 16-18 September on the first of eight matchdays. The final will take place at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest on 30 May 2026. It will be the first time the venue will host a Champions League final.
The UEFA Champions League 2025–26 is the 71st season of Europe’s premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 34th season since it was rebranded from the European Cup to the UEFA Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain are the defending champions, having secured their maiden title the previous season.
The winners of the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League will automatically qualify for the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League league phase, the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup finals, the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup group stage, and earn the right to play against the winners of the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup.
This is the first Champions League season to feature six clubs from one nation, with England earning an extra spot through UEFA coefficient ranking and Tottenham Hotspur having won the previous season’s Europa League.
