- The 2024/25 UEFA club tournaments implement a Swiss league system with 36 teams per group, requiring a novel draw process for the group stage.
- Four pots remain, with Pot 1 featuring the Champions League winner and the seven highest-ranked teams by club coefficient, including three German clubs.
- Previous advantages for group leaders are removed, as each team is drawn against two opponents from every pot, increasing competitive balance.
- A dedicated AE Live software conducts the draw to handle complexity, while knockout rounds will now include an earlier 6:45 PM kickoff slot.
The confederation hopes for more top matches and a more exciting preliminary round through this and the league system.— Giorgio Marchetti, UEFA Vice-Secretary General, on the expectations for the new league system and the draw.
