Format of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League Season

The 2026–27 season introduced a new structure where matches take place across various European cities rather than in a single country during the league phase. A total of 36 teams compete in this stage, each playing eight games — four at home and four away. Clubs travel to multiple European stadiums, including those in cities like Madrid, Liverpool, and Naples, hosting opponents at their own venues.

Details on the League Phase Locations

• League Phase: Matches played in various European cities
• Teams: 36 clubs participating
• Games per team: 8 (4 home, 4 away)

This format means that the competition moves around Europe throughout the league phase instead of being concentrated in one location.
