Uefa champions league

The UEFA Champions League (UCL) is Europe’s premier club football competition, organized by UEFA and featuring top-division clubs from across the continent. It starts with a round-robin group stage, followed by double-legged knockout rounds and a single-match final. The UCL is the most-watched club competition globally and ranks third overall in football viewership, behind the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship.

Teams that do not qualify for the UCL may enter UEFA’s secondary competitions, the Europa League and, since 2021, the Europa Conference League. The UCL remains the most prestigious club competition in European football, bringing together the world’s elite clubs in a highly competitive format to crown the best team in Europe each season.
