Today at 6:00 PM there will be the draw (here is the info on where to watch it for free) that will determine the fixtures for all 36 teams participating in the Champions League 2025/26. As always, the various clubs are divided into four pots and each of these contains nine different teams. Teams from the same country cannot face each other in this first phase. Below is the list of all the teams divided by each pot.
POT 1 – Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Real Madrid, INTER, Borussia Dortmund, PSG, Manchester City, Liverpool;
POT 2 – Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Villarreal, Juventus, Eintracht, Benfica, Atalanta, Bruges;
POT 3 – Tottenham, Napoli, Marseille, Slavia Prague, Sporting, Bodo/Glimt, PSV, Marseille, Ajax;
POT 4 – Athletic Bilbao, Monaco, Galatasaray, Newcastle, Union Saint Gilloise, Copenhagen, Qarabag, Pafos, Kairat.
N.B.: There is no real advantage in being in the first pot compared to another since each club will have to face two opponents from each pot, for a total of eight matches between September and January (four will be at home and four away).
