The 36 teams will play eight games in a points table, with the top eight teams qualifying directly for the quarterfinals and teams ranked 9th to 24th qualifying for the playoffs. The formula for the competition remains the same as the previous two seasons.

Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern de Munique, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid are the teams with the highest expectations of winning the title. These teams have strong squads, recent history, and performance.

PSG is the winner of the last two editions of the Champions League and has maintained all the players from the last edition's team. The club also has six new players, including Ferran Torres, to seek the third consecutive title.
