A new chapter of European football is about to begin, as the pots for the Champions League 2025/26 draw take shape.
After PSG lifted the trophy last season, all eyes now turn to the new campaign — where dreams will be renewed, rivalries reignited, and fresh stories written on the grandest stage of them all.
So far, 32 teams have secured their place in the League Phase. On Tuesday, Kairat Almaty, FK Bodø/Glimt, and Pafos joined the original 29 qualifiers, leaving just four remaining spots to be decided on Wednesday. The official draw is set for Thursday, August 28.
The seeding for the four pots has also been outlined, based on UEFA coefficients. However, the final composition may shift depending on the outcomes of the remaining qualifiers.
