Here is every fixture for the Premier League clubs in the group stage of the 2026/27 UCL campaign
The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league-phase draw is complete, and five Premier League clubs now know the opponents standing between them and a place in the knockout stages.
Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa will represent England in Europe’s premier club competition this season. The five sides have been handed a mixture of blockbuster encounters, difficult away trips and more favourable-looking fixtures.
The new Champions League format means each team will play eight different opponents – four at home and four away – with the fixtures spread between September and January. The top eight teams in the 36-team league table advance directly to the last 16, while teams finishing ninth to 24th enter the knockout play-offs.
Here is the complete breakdown of the Premier League clubs’ Champions League fixtures.
