The UEFA Champions League is nearing its league phase draw, scheduled for August 27 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. This event will finalize the lineup for the competition, which includes 36 teams competing for a spot in the knockout rounds.

The draw will occur after the final qualification matches conclude this week, filling the last seven spots in the tournament. Notable teams such as Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona are among the favorites, while Manchester United returns after a two-season absence and Como makes its debut.

Teams will be categorized into four pots based on their UEFA club coefficients, with the reigning champions placed in pot 1. Each team will play eight matches, facing two teams from each pot, and the top eight will advance directly to the round of 16.
