The Champions League draw will take place on Thursday, October 1, 2020, in a few hours’ time, weeks after Bayern Munich lifted the big ears in Lisbon Portugal.

The Group stage series will begin for teams to know their opponents when the draw is held at RTS Studios in Geneva, Switzerland.

The 26 teams given direct entry to the group stage were joined by the six winners of the play-off ties decided on Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to UEFA, the teams will be split into four seeding pots. Pot 1 consists of the holders, the UEFA Europa League winners and the champions of the six highest-ranked nations who did not qualify via one of the 2019/20 titles.

Pots 2 to 4 are determined by the club coefficient rankings. No team can play a club from their own association and in the case of associations with two representatives, clubs have been paired in order to split their matches between Tuesday and Wednesday. In the case of associations with four representatives, two pairings were made. These pairings were based on TV audiences.
