Where to watch this season?
Canal+ shows every Champions League match through to the end of the 2026-27 season. Its deal with UEFA also covers the Europa League, the Conference League and the UEFA Super Cup: no league phase fixture falls outside the group.
Matches are on the Canal+ channels and on myCanal. There is one exception in the season: the final is shown free-to-air on M6, which holds the free-to-air rights to the 2025, 2026 and 2027 finals.
How does the league phase work?
The league phase puts 36 clubs in a single table. Each one plays eight matches against eight different opponents, four at home and four away — two drawn from each of the four pots of nine, seeded on the UEFA coefficient.
After the eight matchdays, the top eight go straight through to the round of 16. The clubs finishing 9th to 24th play knockout phase play-offs in February 2027; the bottom twelve are out, with no drop into the Europa League.
The league phase calendar
- Matchday 1: 8-10 September 2026
- Matchday 2: 13-14 October 2026
- Matchday 3: 20-21 October 2026
- Matchday 4: 3-4 November 2026
- Matchday 5: 24-25 November 2026
- Matchday 6: 8-9 December 2026
- Matchday 7: 19-20 January 2027
- Matchday 8: 27 January 2027
What happens after the league phase?
The knockout phase play-offs are played on 16-17 and 23-24 February 2027, the round of 16 on 9-10 and 16-17 March, the quarter-finals on 6-7 and 13-14 April, the semi-finals on 27-28 April and 4-5 May.
The final is on Saturday 5 June 2027 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid. It will be shown free-to-air on M6.
