How the Champions League Group Stage works
All 32 qualified teams are slotted into 4 pots. They’re randomly drawn to create 8 groups. The top 2 teams out of each Group advance to the Knockout rounds.
- Pot 1 has the previous year’s Champions League and Europa League winners. Pot 1 also contains the champions of the top 6 associations (Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Russian Premier League and this season, the Portuguese top division).
- Pots 2, 3 & 4 contain the remaining teams. Placement is based on their UEFA coefficients.
There are some restrictions on Group Stage draws to restrict certain clubs from playing others from within their league.
