New UEFA Format for 2024-25 season

The upcoming changes to the UEFA Champions League will bring about a transformation in its structure, particularly with the introduction of the “Swiss” system and other format modifications.

The previous group stage format, which we witnessed during a thrilling conclusion in Group F as Borussia Dortmund secured their advancement behind Paris Saint-Germain, will no longer be repeated due to these alterations. These changes are set to take effect from the 2024-25 season onwards.

Simplifying the structure, we have:

  • A 36-team “league” ranked by a single table.
  • With eight games played against two teams from four different pots.
  • The top eight ranked team advance to the regular UCL round of 16.
  • Positions nine to 24 go into a two-legged play-off to reach the round of 16.
  • Eight play-off winners continue in the UCL round of 16 while the losers go to the Europa League.
  • Positions 25 to 36 are eliminated from all forms of European soccer for the season.
  • Familiar two-legged knockout format of round of 16, quarterfinals and semifinals returns to produce two finalists.

It is important to note that significant adjustments lie ahead for this esteemed competition with an aim to enhance its overall structure and create more excitement among fans worldwide. With these forthcoming modifications taking shape soon after next year’s edition commences under the “Swiss” system banner, football enthusiasts can anticipate a fresh chapter in UCL history that promises intrigue and unpredictability throughout every stage of play.

The upcoming 2024-25 Champions League tournament will make history by introducing the innovative “Swiss” system. This marks the end of an era as it will be the final edition to include the traditional group stage format, where four teams compete and only two progress further. We are truly witnessing a significant moment in football history.
