Real Madrid will be looking to retain their title as the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League gets underway on Tuesday, September 17.
The elite European club tournament has undergone a few format changes this season. The number of competing teams has gone up from 32 to 36 and a single league phase will replace the traditional group stage.
At the end of the league phase, the top eight team will automatically qualify for the round of 16. However, the battle for the remaining eight spots will be intense, as teams placed ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged play-off to secure their place in the knockouts.
The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details this week and how to follow the matches.
