The 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League league phase, played in the 36-team Swiss-model format introduced for 2024/25, is 100% complete after matchday 8. Every team plays eight league-phase matches against eight different opponents; the top eight in the single table go straight to the Round of 16, sides ranked 9-24 contest the knockout play-off round, and the bottom 12 are eliminated. Arsenal sit top with 24 points from 8 matches (3.00 per game), a 3-point cushion in the final standing. The automatic Round of 16 cut-off is a coin-flip -- 8th and 9th are separated by 1 point, with goal difference and head-to-head records likely to decide who finishes inside the line. The knockout play-off cut-off sits on a tie-break -- 24th-place SL Benfica and 25th-place Marseille are level on points, with goal difference and the head-to-head record splitting them. Below the play-off line, 12 clubs have dropped out of European contention this season.
