The draw for the league phase of the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League took place in Monaco, setting the stage for European club football's premier competition in the upcoming season.

Clubs from across the continent learned their opponents for the league phase, which determines the path each side will take through the group stage and into the knockout rounds.

The ceremony in Monaco brought together representatives from Europe's top clubs as officials conducted the draw that will shape the competition's early rounds.

The league phase format, which was introduced in recent seasons, sees each club play a series of matches against a variety of opponents rather than the traditional group stage, adding an extra layer of complexity and excitement to the early stages of the tournament.
