How Does the Champions League Table Work?

The Champions League league phase features 36 teams competing in a single table. Each club plays eight matches before the knockout rounds begin.

  • 1st to 8th place: qualify directly for the round of 16.
  • 9th to 24th place: enter the knockout phase play-offs for a place in the round of 16.
  • 25th to 36th place: eliminated from the competition.

The standings remain provisional ahead of Matchday 3, scheduled for 20 and 21 October 2026. The upcoming fixtures will be crucial for teams looking to secure a top-eight finish and for those fighting to remain in the play-off places.
