The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League season is set to get underway in September, with 36 teams competing in the league phase under the competition's revamped format. The opening round of league-phase matches will be played between September 8 and 10, 2026, with each club facing eight different opponents before the knockout stage begins. The league phase will run until January 2027, with the final round of matches scheduled for January 27. The competition's new format, introduced in the 2024/25 season, sees all 36 teams placed in one league table rather than being separated into traditional groups.
