The new Champions League spot allocated for performance in European competitions creates a competitive dynamic among leagues. Currently, the Premier League is on track to secure this spot for the 2025/26 season, needing only one additional win. Last year, this accolade went to Germany and Italy, bolstered by strong performances, but their chances of retaining it seem slim. The calculation method of UEFA averages results while considering the number of teams participating from each league, thus favoring England and Spain over Germany and Italy.
The introduction of an additional Champions League spot based on European performance has intensified competition among leagues, particularly benefitting England, which stands poised to secure it for 2025/26.
Performance in UEFA competitions is averaged to determine which leagues earn an extra Champions League spot, giving an edge to English and Spanish teams over German and Italian clubs.
