Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2025/26 League Phase draw of the UEFA Champions League.
For the second season running, Manchester City will compete in a league phase consisting of 36 teams, with clubs split into four pots of nine to determine this season's eight league phase fixtures.
City are one of nine teams in pot one and will be drawn against two teams from each of the four pots, playing one team from each pot at home and one team from each pot away.
The top 24 teams qualify for the knockout rounds, with the top eight clubs moving straight through to the last 16 and the teams ranked ninth to 24th playing in a play-off round to make up the remaining eight spots - the same round that City were knocked out of the competition last season.
City are one of six English teams in this season's competition and you can follow all the build-up, updates and reaction as they discover their league phase opponents right here.
