Champions League Matchday One Features Key Fixtures
The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase enters its second day of fixtures on September 9, 2026, featuring six matches. Notable games include Barcelona hosting Feyenoord and Liverpool welcoming Atlético Madrid to Anfield.
This season marks the third under the revamped 36-team league-phase format, which began on September 8, 2026, with Real Madrid defeating Inter Milan in the opening match. Each of the 36 clubs will play eight league-phase matches—four at home and four away—until January 27, 2027.
The top eight teams will advance directly to the round of 16, while clubs ranked ninth through 24th will enter a play-off round for the remaining knockout-stage spots. Paris Saint-Germain enters the tournament as the defending champions, having triumphed over Arsenal on penalties in the 2025/26 final held in Budapest.
The final for the 2026/27 season is scheduled for June 5, 2027, at Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium.
