Bayern's possible Champions League opponents

Bayern Munich will learn their Champions League opponents for the 2026/27 season on Thursday evening. The German champions will be assigned two opponents from each of the four pots at a draw in Monaco, with each pot containing nine teams. No team from the same country can face Bayern, and a team cannot play more than two games against teams from the same national association.

Bayern Munich, currently the top-ranked club in UEFA club coefficients, is placed in the first pot. They will face Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Inter Milan, and FC Barcelona among others. The second pot includes Aston Villa, Manchester United, FC Porto, and other notable clubs. Pot 3 features Galatasaray and Shakhtar Donetsk, while Pot 4 contains four debutant clubs: Como 1907, LASK, Viking FK, and Sabah FK.

The Champions League league phase will see 36 teams compete across eight matchdays, with the top eight qualifying for the round of 16.
