How to watch
Etiquette
Clubs playing in the same domestic league can now draw each other. There is no seeding and no countries being separated so anybody can draw anybody. Clubs that have already faced each other this season in the group stage can also meet again.
Quarterfinals and semifinals
Eight clubs are drawn for the four quarterfinal ties with the first team in each tie at home first. Once the quarterfinal draw is complete, the potential semifinals will be mapped out. The winners of each quarterfinal will know in advance who they could face in the semifinals. Again, the first teams drawn in each tie will eventually play the first leg of the semis at home.
Fixture dates
- Quarterfinal first legs: April 9-10
- Quarterfinal second legs: April 16-17
- Semifinal first legs: April 30-May 1
- Semifinal second legs: May 7-8
Final
Although the different routes to the Wembley final will be known, there must be a draw to decide which club will be considered the “home” team in London. The 2023-24 Champions League final will be held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 1 June. It will be Wembley’s seventh Champions League/European Cup final as host – the most of any other venue in competition history.
UEL and UECL
The same draw process for the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League will follow the Champions League event later on Friday. The same etiquette and format applies albeit with different final destinations with the UEL final at Aviva Stadium in Dublin and the UECL final bound for Agia Sophia Stadium in Athens.
UEL clubs: Atalanta BC (Italy), AS Roma (Italy), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Liverpool (England), SL Benfica (Portugal), Milan (Italy), Olympique de Marseille (France) and West Ham United (England).
UECL clubs: Viktoria Plzen (Czechia), Aston Villa (England), Club Brugge (Belgium), Fenerbahce (Turkiye), PAOK (Greece), Lille OSC (France), Fiorentina (Italy) and Olympiacos (Greece).
