The Champions League 2026/27 league phase draw is complete, confirming eight fixtures for each of the 36 participating clubs. The format retains the expanded structure introduced in 2024/25, with every side drawn against two opponents from each of four seeding pots.

How the draw works

Each of the 36 clubs plays eight league phase matches — four at home and four away — against opponents drawn from Pots 1 through 4. The top eight sides after the league phase advance directly to the round of 16, while clubs finishing ninth to 24th enter a knockout play-off round.

Selected fixtures

Real Madrid host Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven while travelling to Arsenal and Roma, with further ties against RB Leipzig (H), Shakhtar Donetsk (A), LASK (H) and AEK Athens (A).

Manchester City face PSG at home and travel to Barcelona in what is arguably the standout early tie of the phase. City also host Sporting CP and Napoli, and visit Porto, RB Leipzig, and Lens, with AEK Athens at home completing their eight.

Inter Milan welcome Liverpool and Club Brugge to the San Siro, and travel to Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, with additional fixtures against Shakhtar Donetsk (H), Feyenoord (A), Stuttgart (H) and Slovan Bratislava (A).

Barcelona host Manchester City and Aston Villa before facing PSG and Sporting CP away. Their remaining fixtures are against Feyenoord (H), Galatasaray (A), Como (H) and Sabah (A).

Pot 1: Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Manchester City, Arsenal, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid.
