I want a big home tie up first as I might be able to make that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Opponents are going to be set by computer this season, as there would be 900 balls to choose from taking 4 hours. Who trusts UEFA?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) As it's done by a computer this yr they could just click a button and all the fixtures appear but i would hope they still keep some kind of "draw element" by doing it in stages/fixture by fixture for entertainment value eventhough its not necessary.

The draw for the first stage of the 2024/25 Champions League will take place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on Thursday 29 August, 2024. A time is yet to have been confirmed. Automated software will now randomly draw eight opponents for each team from four pots and allocate which will play at home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Whilst we will find out our eight opponents and whether we'll face them home or away on Thursday 29th August. We won't know the actual match dates/times until Saturday 31st it seems: UEFA Club Competitions 2024/25 onwards: new league phase draw procedures explained "Even though the teams will know all their opponents by the end of the draw, the fixture list with match dates and kick-off times will be elaborated afterwards and announced on Saturday 31 August, to ensure no calendar clashes with teams in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League playing in the same cities."

wedge Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 One question I do have that I can't find the answer to anywhere, is that will we play one game at home then the next away (or vice versa) or is there the possibility of playing back-to-back home/away games?
