CL, EL and ECL 26/27: Draws & Premier League Pots

Premier League clubs are on the brink of discovering their potential opponents in the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. England's nine teams are set to compete across these three tournaments, with Crystal Palace securing a place in the Europa League after winning the Conference League. The Champions League 2026/27 draw is scheduled for Thursday in Monaco, while the matches will commence the following week.

Teams are divided into four pots based on UEFA’s club coefficient rankings, with top Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City in Pot 1, and Manchester United and Aston Villa in Pot 2. The Europa League and Conference League draws will take place on Friday, August 28, at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. The format for both tournaments involves eight league-phase matches, with teams playing one home and one away fixture against clubs from each pot. Clubs are prohibited from facing off against teams from the same country during the league phase.
