The Champions League draw for the 2026/27 season has been completed and it has thrown up some spicy fixtures for the five Premier League teams involved.
Last year’s finalists Arsenal were handed a brutal draw which includes heavyweight clashes with both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, while Aston Villa will face reigning champions PSG and Barcelona.
Manchester United will host Bayern Munich and travel to Como to face Cesc Fabregas’ side, Manchester City will welcome back Kevin De Bruyne at Eastlands when they entertain Napoli, and Liverpool will take on Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.
In case you need a refresher on the how the competition’s format works, 36 participating clubs will play eight games against eight different opponents, four at home and four away, in the league phase.
The top eight will qualify directly for the knockout stage, with 16 sides contesting a playoff round. The teams finishing between 25th and 36th will be eliminated when the league phase concludes in January. The teams that come through the playoffs will join the top eight sides in the last-16.
The dates of the league phase will be revealed by UEFA on Saturday.
