UEFA have officially confirmed that 29 clubs have secured their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, following the conclusion of key domestic leagues across Europe over the weekend.
The update, published on UEFA’s website on Monday, comes ahead of the implementation of the new 36-team league phase format, which will replace the traditional 32-team group stage from next season.
With seven spots still up for grabs, clubs across Europe continue to battle in playoffs and domestic competitions for a chance to join Europe’s elite.
Here are the 29 qualified teams by country:
England: Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United
Spain: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club, Villarreal
Germany: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt
Italy: Napoli, Inter Milan, Atalanta, Juventus
France: Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, Monaco
Portugal: Sporting CP
Netherlands: Ajax, PSV Eindhoven
Belgium: Union Saint-Gilloise
Czech Republic: Slavia Praha
Turkey: Galatasaray
Greece: Olympiacos
The revamped format, part of UEFA’s broader strategy to enhance competition and revenue, will begin with a single league table where each team plays eight matches, a shift from the traditional group system.
