Champions League 2026-27: every league-phase fixture, kick-off time and TV information

The 2026-27 UEFA Champions League league phase begins on Tuesday, 8 September 2026, with 36 teams competing under the tournament’s new format. The opening round includes Real Madrid against Inter, Porto against Manchester City and Barcelona against Feyenoord.

The league phase will run until Wednesday, 27 January 2027, when all 18 matches in the final round will be played. The leading clubs in Europe, including Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, Liverpool and Bayern Munich, will be aiming to secure an early advantage in the race for the trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain begin the campaign as holders after winning the first Champions League title in the club’s history last season. Their rivals will attempt to reclaim the trophy, with the expanded format guaranteeing a greater number of high-profile fixtures from the opening stages.

In the Middle East, all Champions League matches will be shown exclusively by beIN Sports. Online coverage will also be available through the TOD TV and beIN CONNECT applications. NordVPN is promoted as an option for viewers seeking a fast and secure internet connection.

How the new format works

The league phase contains 36 teams, replacing the previous group-stage system. The clubs are divided into four seeding pots, with each team drawn against two opponents from every pot. Those matches are played home and away, giving every side a larger number of fixtures against different opponents.

The teams finishing from first to eighth qualify directly for the last 16. Clubs placed ninth to 24th enter a two-legged play-off, from which eight more teams progress to the knockout phase.

The teams finishing 25th to 36th are eliminated completely. Unlike under the previous system, no side drops into the UEFA Europa League.

The competition then continues with the last 16 and the subsequent knockout rounds in the usual format.

League-phase table

All teams begin with no matches played, no goals scored or conceded, and no points:
