The competition will be revamped for the 2024/25 season with a a new league phase introduced, involving 36 teams.
Clubs will take on eight different opponents (four at home and four away) with each team facing two opponents from each of the four pots.
There will be nine sides in each pot and Liverpool is set to be in pot one, despite not being in Europe's premier competition this season.
That is because the Reds are currently fifth in the UEFA coefficient, with the top eight all included alongside the reigning Champions League winner — either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund.
The other sides already guaranteed a place in pot one include Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City.
It means City could well be one of the two sides in pot one that Liverpool ends up playing.
Arsenal will also be in the Champions League but is ranked 22nd in the UEFA coefficients, meaning it is likely to be in pot two.
Aston Villa — who Liverpool faces on Monday — needs one win from its last two matches to finish fourth.
Liverpool.com says: Liverpool will be delighted to be back in the Champions League and will be eager to test itself against the very beat teams once again.
