How does the draw work

In the league phase, team pairings will be determined by the draw. In accordance with the club coefficient rankings established at the start of the UWCL season, the 18 clubs will be split up into three pots of six clubs each. The top seed in pot 1 is Arsenal, the reigning champions.

In addition to using automatic tools, the draw will be done manually, with balls being physically taken out of a bowl. Six balls with the team names of the clubs making up the pot will be prepared for the draw, one for each of the three pots. Each club plays one opponent from each pot at home and one away after being drawn against two opponents from each of the three pots.

Each club can play against two teams from any other association, but clubs from the same association cannot be matched against one another.

More matches for more drama

The league phase, which begins with a single table where each team plays six games against six different opponents, will do away with the customary groups. Teams use conventional point systems, with three points scored for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. They are ranked across a single table.

The top four teams go straight to the quarterfinals, while the teams ranked fifth through twelve will compete for the remaining quarterfinal slots in a two-leg knockout playoff. The 13th through 18th-ranked teams will not be allowed to compete in the event.
