UEFA Champions League 2026–27 draw determines matchups

Overview

On 27 August 2026, the UEFA Champions League draw was held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco to determine the league phase matchups for the 36 participating clubs. The ceremony featured UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, who presented the UEFA President’s Award to Thierry Henry. Various football figures, including David Villa and Giorgio Marchetti, assisted in the drawing process for major clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.

Under the established format, each club was assigned eight opponents—two from each of the four seeding pots—resulting in four home and four away matches. The draw adhered to specific regulations, such as preventing clubs from facing more than two opponents from the same foreign association and ensuring no matchup occurs three times in a row.

Following the draw, the specific opponents for Dutch participants Feyenoord and PSV were confirmed. Feyenoord (Pot 3) is scheduled to host Internazionale, RB Leipzig, Galatasaray, and Como 1907 at De Kuip. Their away fixtures include matches against FC Barcelona, FC Porto, Real Betis, and Viking FK. PSV Eindhoven (Pot 2) will host Atlético Madrid and travel to face Real Madrid.

Beyond the Champions League, the UEFA draws also determined schedules for other Dutch clubs in European competitions. In the Europa League, AZ Alkmaar is set to face opponents including Juventus, Benfica, Dinamo Zagreb, and Ararat, while NEC Nijmegen will face Benfica, Stade Rennais, Omonia Nicosia, and Levski Sofia. In the Conference League, FC Twente’s schedule includes home matches against Kairat Almaty, Pafos, and FC Thun, alongside away trips to SC Freiburg, Lincoln Red Imps, and Aarhus GF.
