Clubs are divided equally into 8 different groups consisting of 4 teams, with previous years performances determining seeding. The top 2 clubs from each of these groups will progress to the next round of the tournament, while 3rd place will be moving onto the Europa League.

Each team plays its group opponents in a home-and-away round-robin format. From the 2024/25 campaign, it will increase to 36 teams.

The 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage starts on 20 September 2023 AEST and runs to 14 December 2023 AEDT. It is held over 6 match days. Teams from the same nations are also split up to ensure parity.

After the group stage is complete, the Champions League moves to the knockout stage.

Starting on 14 February 2024, the 16 remaining teams will be play each other in a home-and-away 2 leg format. The 8 group winners are seeded against the 8 runners-up.

At this point, teams still can't be drawn against clubs from the same country or who were previously in their group. Then from the quarter-finals onwards, there are no restrictions on who will play each other through to the semi-finals and final.

Teams will continue to play in a home-and-away format until the final.
