When does the Champions League 2024/25 start?
The 2024/25 Champions League kicked off on Tuesday, September 17. The campaign will run over eight matchdays in the league phase, followed by five knockout rounds – a playoff round, then last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
The final, to be staged at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena in Germany, will be Saturday, 31 May 2025.
What are the Champions League 2024/25 format changes?
It seems complicated but when you break it down, the so-called Swiss Model makes sense and prioritizes getting as many mouthwatering matches in the schedule as early as possible.
Gone is group stage, replaced is one 36-team league phase. Each side will play eight games (four at home, four away) against eight different opponents, with two clubs drawn from each of the four seeded pots according to their UEFA coefficient.
The top eight teams overall advance directly to the round of 16, with those ranked 9th to 24th to play a home-and-away knockout phase play-off in February 2025 to decide the remaining eight places. The 12 teams finishing the league phase 25th and below are eliminated.
From then, it’s a straight two-legged knockout (with a one-off-final), with teams seeded like a tennis tournament according to their league phase placing.
Can I watch Champions League 2024/25 on my mobile?
Of course, most broadcasters have streaming services that you can access through mobile apps or via your phone's browser.
You can also stay up-to-date with all 2024/25 Champions League key moments on the official social media channels on X/Twitter (@ChampionsLeague), Instagram (@ChampionsLeague), TikTok (@ChampionsLeague) and UEFA's YouTube (@UEFA).
