The draw for the league phase of the 2025/26 Champions League is upon us with no fewer than six Premier League teams set to discover their opponents in Monaco this evening.
English champions Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are all placed in pot 1 alongside holders Paris Saint-Germain and the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Arsenal in pot 2 and Europa League winners Tottenham ending their three-year absence from the competition in pot 3.
There are four Champions League debutants among the 36 teams involved in Bodo/Glimt, Pafos, Union Saint-Gilloise and Kairat Almaty, with each club set to play eight league phase fixtures in total.
