Since it’s inception in 1955, the UEFA Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup, has gone through a number of developments, rebrands and format changes. In the competition’s debut season, sixteen teams took part in a straight knockout tournament to crown the kings of Europe. Several evolutions later, including a name change during the 1992/93 season, and we come to the now familiar format that we are all used to throughout all of UEFA’s club competitions. However, from the 2024/25 season, the Champions League will see it’s biggest change in decades, arguably even since the inception of the competition. On the 10th May 2022, UEFA revealed their plans for the latest incarnation of the Champions League, including it’s final format and access list, which would begin during the 2024/25 season. Not only would these changes effect their premier club competition, but also the secondary Europa League and Europa Conference League tournaments. So what are these changes and what do they mean in regards to qualification, how and when matches will be played, and for fans watching at home or attending games in person? In this video, I shall break down the new format and explain what the new UEFA Champions League will look like for the foreseeable future.
