The UEFA Champions League draw was held Thursday in Monaco, the first year of the tournament's new format that features 36 teams playing in one "league" rather than the traditional eight groups of four.
Every team was seeded and divided into four pots of nine, and will play two games (one home and one away) against randomly-drawn clubs from each pot.
All 36 teams compete in a single "league" with the top eight advancing directly to the Round of 16. Those who finish Nos. 9-16 move on as seeded teams into the knockout phase playoffs, while Nos. 17-24 advance to the playoff unseeded, with a two-legged tie to determine who reaches the Round of 16.
Real Madrid is the defending champion, winning its 15th title with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in last season's final.
This season's Champions League final is scheduled for May 31, 2025 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Here's a look at every team's draw for the 2024-25 edition of the tournament:
