New UCL 24/25 draw format explained: How it works and what's changed?
There has been a big overhaul of UEFA’s third competition this season. Gone are the days of the 32-team group phase, replaced by a 36-team league. Each team plays six games with the top eight automatically qualifying for the round of 16, whilst the bottom 12 are eliminated.
Meanwhile, the teams that finished between ninth and 24th go into a playoff round to decide which eight teams will go on into the knockout part of the tournament.
The round of 16, as part of the old format, continues with seeded teams playing unseeded teams, leading to quarter-finals, semi-finals and eventually the final itself.
When are the UEFA Conference League knockout phase playoffs?
The two-legged ties will be played during February with the first leg taking place on February 13th with the second leg happening a week later.
The games will kick off at either 18:45 CET or 21:00 CET and will be decided after the draw.
The knockout phase is a bracket from then until the final. Teams finishing between ninth and 16th in the league phase will be seeded teams, meaning they will play against a side that finished between 17th and 24th in the final standings.
The seeded team will play their home leg second, which will be confirmed once the draw has taken place.
When are the other UEFA Conference League knockout games played?
Round of 16: March 6th and March 13th
Quarter-finals: April 10th and April 17th
Semi-finals: May 1st and May 8th
The Final: May 21st in Wroclaw
