How does the Champions League work?

The Champions League has undergone huge changes for the 2024/25 season. For the first time ever, the competition now kicks off with a 36 team league phase, with all 36 clubs thrown into a single league table. The 36 teams are split into 4 pots of 9, with teams playing 2 teams from each pot, including their own, for 8 games total.

At the end of the league phase, the top 8 teams automatically qualify for the round of 16. Beyond that, every team ranked from 9th through to 24th will take part in a two-legged playoff round for a spot in the last 16. Every side from 9th down to 16th are seeded for this playoff tie, and will play a club who finished in 17th through to 24th. The winner of this tie will then play a side who finished in the top 8.

From then on, it’s business as usual. Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and then the Champions League final. Of course, the final itself is a one off event played at a neutral venue, whilst every knockout round prior is played over 2 legs.

Who Will win the Champions League?

The league phase may have thrown up a few surprises, but it’s safe to say the bookies have their firm favourites regardless, and many of the sides predicted to go far before a ball was kicked are still touted as serious contenders.

It comes as no surprise to see Liverpool priced as favourites to take the title. Arne Slot’s side are priced as short as 4/1 with the likes of Betfair, and with Mo Salah leading the charge, anything is possible. Liverpool sit atop the pile in the Premier League, and topped the league phase, losing just once; with that sort of form, the short price makes complete sense.

The likes of Barcelona, Arsenal, and Real Madrid form the chasing pack in that regard. They’re priced at 6/1, 6/1, and 13/2 respectively, the bookmakers suggesting that all 3 are capable of pushing Liverpool till the very end. Barcelona were Liverpool’s closest challengers in the league phase, a side brimming with you talent and spearheaded by Raphinha and Lewandowski giving them the balance needed to compete at this level.

Bayern are the most likely candidate to lift the Champions League trophy of all the Bundesliga sides according to bookmakers, with the German giants priced at 15/2, whilst Lille are the longest price of all the teams to finish in the top 8. The French side managed results against the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Feyenoord, but aren’t fancied by the bookmakers at 50/1.

Who has won the Champions League most often?

When it comes to the Champions League, Real Madrid reign Supreme. Los Blancos have won the trophy a total of 15 times, a number that the rest of Europe’s top clubs can only dream of. AC Milan are Real’s closest challengers in that regard, the Italian outfit have won the Champions League a total of 7 times, but have some way to go before getting anywhere near the numbers put up by the Spanish giants.

Outside of that, recent champions include Manchester City (2023), Real Madrid (2022), Chelsea (2021), Bayern Munich (2020) and Liverpool (2019).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Champions League work?

arrow down

The 2024/25 season has a huge shakeup to the Champions League format, with a 36 team league phase introduced for the first time in the competitions history.

A team’s pathway into the Champions League is largely dictated by the coefficient ranking of the league they play in. The likes of England, Germany, and Spain will see their top 4 sides qualify straight for the league phase, whereas other leagues may have 1 or 2 automatic qualifiers with other sides having to go through a qualification process.

During said process, teams are split into a ‘league’ and ‘Champions’ path in order to fight for their spot in the competition proper. Spots are also reserved for the reigning champions, last season’s Europa League winners, and the 5th placed sides from the top 2 ranked leagues in the coefficient rankings

Once the qualifiers are over, the league phase commences with 36 teams placed into one league table. All 36 sides are placed into 4 pots of 9, with each side playing 2 teams from each pot, including their own, for 8 games total. After 8 games, the top 8 sides qualify automatically as seeded teams for the last 16, whilst teams ranked 9th through 24th have to take part in a playoff round to reach the knockouts.

There are three knockout stages before the Champions League Final: last 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals. Each tie is made up of two legs, one home and one away. The final is a standalone one-off game.

This will be just the second time that a Champions League final has been hosted at the ground of Germany’s most successful club.

What date and time is the Champions League final?

How to watch the Champions League?

arrow down

UK viewers can watch the vast majority of Champions League fixtures on TNT sport, with viewers having the ability to chop and change between games as the night rolls on.

Amazon Prime viewers have also had access to one game featuring an English side every single matchday during the league phase. This is set to continue during the playoffs and knockout phase.

Who has the most Champions League wins?

arrow down

In a stat that surprises nobody, Real Madrid have won the Champions League a record 15 times now, more than double the total of the next most successful club. AC Milan have won the title 7 times, with their last success in 2006/07, whilst Liverpool and Bayern Munich have each won the biggest prize in European football 6 times.

With the 2024/25 edition of the Champions League birthing an entirely new format, it remains to be seen as to whether the usual culprits will end up on top once again.
