These are significant matches against clubs from various leagues, and some have more European experience than others, which could lead to surprises. Each team plays one home and one away match in the Champions Path knockout draw. The UEFA Conference League group stage awaits these winners.

Five clubs entered at this stage, 26 from the third qualifying round. 7 from UEFA Europa League dropped into the Main Path draw. A duel between French team RC Lens and the winners of Greece’s Panathinaikos FC and Netherlands’ AFC Ajax is anticipated. Chelsea FC of England could play SC Braga, which finished second in Primeira Liga of Portugal, or Servette FC, which placed third in Swiss Super League.

Four seeded and equal-number unseeded groups make up the Main Path draw. The system balances the competition, with stronger teams featuring seeded teams according on UEFA coefficients. Knockout football is unpredictable, therefore shocks are expected.

Both the Champions Path and Main Path draws followed UEFA’s rigorous standards. Team seeding is based on UEFA club coefficient rankings. Due to national association limitations that ban teams from the same country from playing each other, this technique avoids the Draw’s early grouping of the two strongest teams.

Two-legged playoff games will be contested on August 22 and 29, 2024. Winners advance to the UEFA Conference League group stage, advancing them toward European glory.
