Regarding the new Champions League format, this edition features significant changes by UEFA. Now, 36 teams will participate in a league phase, where they will face each other in eight different matches. At the end of this stage, all teams will be positioned on a single table, and the top eight will qualify directly for the Round of 16.

On the other hand, teams finishing from ninth to twenty-fourth place will compete in a playoff round to determine the last eight teams advancing to the next round. Teams that finish in the lower part of the table, starting from 25th place onward, will be eliminated without the possibility of playing in the Europa League.
