Sixteen teams will discover their opponents in the Champions League knockout draw on Friday at 11:00 GMT. The eight winners of the two-legged knockout phase play-offs join the top eight sides from the league-phase table in the draw. Friday's draw will also allocate a side of the bracket for all teams, meaning they will know who they could potentially meet in the quarter-final, semi-final and final. Last-16 first legs will take place on either 10 or 11 March, with the reverse fixture scheduled for 17-18 March. The Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary will host the 2025-26 final on 30 May.
