Overview

The UEFA Champions League is Europe's top club competition, in its current name since 1992-93. Paris Saint-Germain are the reigning champions: they beat Arsenal on penalties in the 2026 final in Budapest after beating Inter 5-0 in 2025.

Real Madrid have won the competition 15 times since the European Cup began in 1955-56, including nine times since 1992-93. Barcelona and Bayern Munich have won it repeatedly, and Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and AC Milan have multiple titles.

PSG's first title came in 2025 under Luis Enrique with a 5-0 win over Inter in Munich. In 2026 they became the first side in the modern era to retain it with a 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the final in Budapest on 30 May and a 4-3 win on penalties; Kai Havertz scored for Arsenal and Ousmane Dembele equalised from the penalty spot.

The 2026-27 league phase began on 8 September 2026 and ends on 27 January 2027.

How it works

Since 2024-25, 36 clubs play eight league-phase matches each; the top eight go straight to the round of 16 and those from ninth to 24th play a knockout play-off round. The final is one match at a neutral venue.
