The UEFA Champions League 2026-27 season will be the 35th season of Europe’s premier club competition after its rebranding and the third season under the League Phase format. Paris Saint-Germain successfully retained the title in Budapest, and just three months later, the ball will be rolling again for the new season, promising another breathtaking run. The Ligue 1 giants are bidding to lift the silverware once more to become the first side since Real Madrid to complete a three-peat in the modern era in the final of this edition, set to be hosted at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid for the second time in its history on 5 June 2027. The challenge will be massive, though with several other elites strengthening themselves significantly, eyeing the prize, whereas returnees like Manchester United and four debutants this season will want to fulfil their objectives as well.
By virtue of their excellent performance last season, England and Spain will have an extra spot in the 36-team League Phase with five representatives from their respective leagues. 16 different countries will be represented in the competition this season. Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk will play their home games at Chelsea’s ground, Stamford Bridge, due to the ongoing war with Russia, while Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is yet to be confirmed as the venue for Como in the competition. The draw for the 2026-27 League Phase took place in Monaco on 27 August 2026, revealing some spicy matches to look forward to. The opening matchweek of this stage will be played in three days from 8th to 10th September 2026. December will be the only month with a single matchweek of the Champions League. The final set of League Phase games will be played on 27 January 2027, with all kicking off simultaneously.
