There are no seedings and no country protection, so teams can face opposition from the same national association.

According to UEFA, this season's quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will be played as a straight knockout tournament in Lisbon, Portugal in August. All these ties will be single-leg fixtures. The games will be split between Benfica's Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica (which will host the final) and Sporting CP's Estádio José Alvalade.

 

 

7–8 August has been scheduled for the round of 16-second legs to take place.
