UEFA have released the schedule for the league phase of the 2024/25 Champions League.
The draw for the first edition of the revamped Champions League took place on Thursday in Monaco, with the 36 contesting teams learning their eight opponents.
These 36 sides were split into four pots of nine depending on their UEFA club coefficient. They were then drawn against two teams from each pot to produce eight league phase fixtures.
All of the qualified teams will compete in one table, with the top eight progressing straight to the knockout stages. Teams ranked nine to 24 will head into play-offs, while those from 25 to 36 are eliminated.
Here is the complete set of fixtures for the opening eight rounds of the new-look Champions League.
Aston Villa’s first return to this competition since it was known as the European Cup sees them travel to Young Boys in one of this year’s two curtain-raisers. Juventus host PSV Eindhoven in the other early fixture.
Elsewhere, AC Milan take on Liverpool in a repeat of the 2005 and 2007 finals, as well as a rematch of the 2023 final between Manchester City and Inter.
Matchday 1 will be the only round of this season’s Champions League to feature games on a Thursday night.
