How does the Champions League format work?

The Champions League was revamped before the 2024-25 season with a new 36-team league phase. In the expanded tournament each side plays eight different teams - four at home and four away - in the league phase. Teams who finish in the top eight automatically qualify for the last 16, while those placing ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged knockout play-off for the chance to join them.
