The Champions League draw ceremony will start at 7:00 pm Mecca and Moscow time.
The draw for the Champions League group stage will be held in its new format, with the participation of 36 teams for the first time in the history of the competition, each of which will play 8 matches in the group stage instead of 6 matches, and they will be arranged in a league system.
Each team will play half of the matches at home, and the rest away. The team cannot face an opponent from the same country, and it can face two opponents from one other country, at most.
The European Football Association decided to conduct the Champions League draw for the new season by computer, instead of using former stars who draw a large number of balls.
Real Madrid was the team that succeeded in winning the last edition of the 2023-2024 Champions League, where it won the 15th title in its history at the expense of Borussia Dortmund of Germany.
