Information

Starting from the 24/25 season, there will be 36 clubs participating in the Champions League, and all participating clubs will be ranked together. Each team will play against eight different teams in the main competition, half of which will be played at home and the other half will be played away. The result of each game will determine the ranking in the main competition, with 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. The top 8 teams in the main competition will automatically advance to the round of 16, while the teams ranked 9th to 24th will participate in a two-round knockout playoff, and the winner will get another 8 qualifying places. The teams ranked 25-36 will be eliminated directly. Playoff system: The teams ranked 9th to 16th will be the seeded teams, facing the teams ranked 17th to 24th, and will play two rounds. The second round will be played at the home of the seeded team. The winner will advance to the round of 16. The knockout round is divided into four rounds: the top 16, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the finals. Except for the final, there will be two rounds of home and away games. The final will be held in a neutral venue (selected in advance each year) and will be a single-round match. If the game is tied within 90 minutes, a 30-minute overtime will be played; the winner of the overtime will be crowned the champion; if the game is tied in overtime, a penalty shootout will be held. If two or more teams have the same points after the end of the main competition, the following criteria will be applied to determine their ranking: a. More goal difference b. More goals c. More away goals d. More wins e. More away wins f. Head-to-head points g. Head-to-head goal difference h. Head-to-head goals i. Fair play points j. Club coefficient
