UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2020-21: Group stage draw preview

The little silver lining that came out of the COVID-19 pandemic was the flurry of football fixtures being played every other day. And now, only a couple of months removed from last season’s Champions League final, the Road to Turkey begins. 

The Champions League group stage draw will take place to determine the group stage draws. Like every year, there will be four pots with teams from all parts of Europe in them.

The draw will take place on 1st October, at 5 PM UK time. It will be held in Nyon, Switzerland at the house of European Football. 

Seeding and country protection will be in place. In other words, teams from the same national league cannot participate in the same group.
