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.
