We now know the names of all 36 teams that will compete in the UEFA Champions League. On Thursday, August 28, the main round draw is taking place, kicking off at 18:00 Central European Time.
The league phase will feature 36 clubs from various countries. England leads the way with six teams, Spain sends five representatives, Italy and Germany each have four, and France will be represented by three clubs.
Each team will play eight matches against different opponents—four at home and four away. The top eight teams will advance directly to the round of 16, while another 16 clubs will battle it out in a preliminary round to complete the round of 16 lineup.
Before the draw, all 36 clubs were split into four pots of nine teams each. Every club will face one opponent from its own pot and six more from the other pots. The only rule at this stage: teams from the same country cannot be drawn against each other.
The Dailysports team invites you to follow the draw live online.
