The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage will take place this Thursday 25 August at 18:00 in Istanbul, Turkey. You can follow the event live on PSG TV, YouTube and Twitch.
rules:
- The draw involves 32 teams: the 26 who qualified directly for the group stage, plus the six winners of the play-offs.
- The teams are divided into four pots. Pot 1 includes the defending champions, the UEFA Europa League winner and the top six ranked national champions who did not qualify via one of the 2021-2022 continental titles, including Paris Saint-Germain. Pots 2 to 4 will be determined by the ranking of the clubs' coefficients.
- In the case of federations having 2 representatives, the clubs are paired up in order to divide their matches between Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In the case of federations with 4 or more representatives, 2 pairings are made. These pairings shall be based on television ratings.
- No team can play against a team from its own federation. Paris Saint-Germain will therefore not be able to play Olympique de Marseille.
