The 2024–25 season marks a change to the Champions League. UEFA aims to provide the federations with a preview of the 36-team Champions League's structure. The parent organization of European football has requested the federations adopt the new format in writing. With the enlarged squad, there will be a total of 100 games, including Champions League qualifying games. Instead of two days a week, the game will now be played three days a week.
Beginning in 2024, the Champions League will alter. In place of 32 clubs, 36 will take part in the elite European football competition. To carry out that procedure, UEFA has written to the national federations of soccer in Europe. UEFA has written to the federations outlining the requirements for the clubs to get past the qualifiers and into the main stage in accordance with the new format. Despite the fact that the new format won't be implemented until the 2024–25 season, UEFA wants to offer clubs a thorough understanding before then. The new model will be advantageous for smaller clubs.
Each federation will be able to submit the names of up to five clubs from its top league starting in 2024. The extra clubs' gameplan has been explained by UEFA. One side will be allowed to play more games than England if the new regulations are put into place. In accordance with the rules, a team from the nation where the club won the most recent league will be given the opportunity to compete. The FA will have the authority to accept up to five clubs in the new format, with Manchester City serving as the defending champions.
The rankings will be used to select the second club. A club from the nation's league that will be in fifth position in UEFA's ranking will be added, based on calculations from the previous five years. All are welcome in the other two locations. Through wild card entrance, they will have the chance to take part. The two teams that dominated the conference competitions and the Europa League last year but were eliminated from the Champions League will be crucial.
As the team develops, there will be 100 games total, including qualifications. Under the new regulations, there will be no group stage. The top 16 teams will be determined by finishing the two qualifying legs in positions 9 to 24. Before the knockout stage, there will be an option to play against more than one club in one nation. The game won't be conducted according to the existing regulations. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be the three days a week that Champions League games are played. The knockout stage will feature games between the top eight clubs.
