Real Madrid will find out today who their opponents will be in the Champions League 26/27 group stage
Mourinho's side will be grouped with eight other teams and will not face any Spanish teams (6:00 pm, Realmadrid TV).
Real Madrid will find out today who their first eight opponents will be in the 2026/27 Champions League. The draw will take place in Monaco (6:00 pm, live on Realmadrid TV), and our team cannot face other Spanish teams or more than two opponents from the same country during this phase.
The 36 participating teams will be divided into four pots based on UEFA's coefficient ranking. They will face two clubs from each pot, one at home and one away. A computer program will randomly draw the eight opponents and determine the home and away matches. The match dates and times will be announced over the weekend.
Format
In this initial phase, all 36 teams will compete in a single classification. The top eight will advance directly to the Round of 16, while those finishing 9th to 24th will play an intermediate round consisting of two-legged knockout matches. The remaining teams will be eliminated without access to the Europa League. From the Round of 16 onwards, the traditional format continues until the final, which will take place on June 5, 2027, at the Metropolitano Stadium.
