About the Champions League 2026/27 simulator

The UEFA Champions League is the most prestigious club tournament in the world. Since 2024/25 it uses the new league-phase format: 36 teams in a single table, each playing eight matches against different opponents, with the top eight advancing straight to the round of 16 and places 9 to 24 contesting a knockout play-off.

With this simulator you can recreate the whole competition from the league phase to the final in Madrid. Fill in each two-legged tie, decide who goes through on penalties and find out which club would lift the trophy in a scenario that is entirely yours.

How to simulate the Champions League

  1. 1Sort the league phase: log each club's eight matches in the single 36-team table. The simulator sends the top eight straight to the round of 16 and drops places 9 to 24 into the knockout play-off.
  2. 2Settle the two-legged knockout play-off to fill out the round-of-16 opponents who will meet the seeded sides.
  3. 3Work through the two-legged ties —round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals—: the simulator adds up the aggregate and, when a tie is level, you pick the winner of the penalty shootout yourself.
  4. 4Play the single-match final at the Metropolitano in Madrid and crown the champions of Europe.

Frequently asked questions

How does the new 36-team league phase work?

Every club shares one table and plays eight matches against eight different opponents. Once the phase ends, the top eight go straight to the round of 16 while places 9 to 24 enter the knockout play-off; you log each matchday in the simulator as you go.

What is the knockout play-off and how do I simulate it?

It is the two-legged round between the clubs that finished 9th to 24th. The simulator pairs up the ties, adds the aggregate over both legs and lets you settle the draw on penalties to decide who reaches the round of 16.

How are the two-legged ties decided?

In the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals the simulator totals the goals from both legs. When the aggregate is level there is no extra time: you choose the penalty-shootout winner directly.

Is the final also two-legged?

No. The 2026/27 Champions League final is a single match at the Metropolitano in Madrid, so you only enter one scoreline to crown the champions.

Do I need an account or payment to simulate the Champions League?

No. You can recreate the entire Champions League, from the league phase to the Madrid final, with no sign-up and at no cost; just remember the ties and results are your own scenarios, not official predictions.
