The new format that will be applied to the 2024/2025 Champions League is known as the 'Swiss Model'. So, what is the new format system like? Check out the full information below.
As mentioned above, UEFA will use a new format known as the Swiss Model for next season's Champions League competition.
The Swiss model will change the total format of the competition, from the number of participants to the method of going home.
In the 2024/2025 season, the number of participants will be increased to 36 teams. This is different from the 2023/2024 season competition format and the previous season which was attended by 32 clubs.
The new 2024 Champions League format also eliminates the group division system. This means that all participants will fall into the same league or single group system.
Next, All clubs will play at least 10 times in the group stage against 10 different matches. This is different from the previous format where they played six times against three teams.
The eight best teams in the league will automatically qualify for the knockout phase. Meanwhile, the team that is ranked ninth to 24th will play in the two-legged playoffs to secure a place in the round of 16.
Teams ranked ninth and 16th will be on the flagship list in the playoffs. They will face the 17th and 24th ranked teams with the advantage of home games in the second leg.
Meanwhile, the team ranked 25th and below will be nominated without access to the Europa League.
The eight clubs that triumphed in the playoffs will advance to the last 16 where they will compete with the top eight clubs that finish.
Starting from the round of 16 and after, the competition will follow the knockout format like now to the final match at the neutral venue.
UEFA said that the single league format with similar rules above will also be applied periodically to the Europa League and Conference League.
The distribution of Champions League ticket rations in a new format will remain based on the achievements of clubs in their respective domestic leagues with a number of criteria.
The additional quota for the first participants will be given to the league/state which is ranked fifth in the UEFA coefficient standings.
The second allotment is given to domestic league champions with the highest club coefficient scores among local champions who do not get tickets to the Champions League finals.
The third and fourth rations are given to two clubs with the highest coefficient scores that fail to win Champions League tickets, but earn Europa League tickets or Conference League tickets.
