How the league phase works

The route to the knockouts

Every club plays eight different opponents. There are no traditional four-team groups and one 36-club table decides the next step.

1st–8th

Direct to round of 16

The strongest eight league-phase records skip the February play-offs.

9th–24th

Knockout phase play-off

These 16 clubs contest two-legged ties for the remaining round-of-16 places.

25th–36th

European campaign ends

There is no transfer into another UEFA competition.
