Welcome back to the most prestigious tournament in the BFFA – the Champions League. It puts last season’s elite into a fierce competition to prove who has the mettle to continue their success and become a cross-season champion.
In an attempt to mirror the new UEFA format, we’ve re-designed our Champions League to have an all-in-one First Round.
There are still sixteen teams qualified as before.
These teams have been divided into four pools depending on their final league position and Best-ish score. The four League Champions are the highest seeds (Pool 1) and the last four reservists are the lowest seeds (Pool 4).
The First Round fixtures will be set so that every team plays one opponent from each pool.
The Draw will be made this weekend to randomize the teams in each pool, and then placed in the fixture list below:
Round 1: Every team plays four games and are all in the same group.
At the end of the round:
1st-4th: 》The top four will get a bye to Round 3 (the QFs).
5th-12th: 》The teams in places 5th-12th will playoff in Round 2;
(A) 5th v 12th // (B) 6th v 11th // (C) 7th v 10th // (D) 8th v 9th. Two legs.
13th-16th: 》The bottom four will be eliminated.
If tiebreakers are needed, it will be decided on Goals Scored, then Best-ish ranking, then trackback weekly scores.
From Round 3 the highest-ranked teams will face the lowest-ranked teams (rankings decided by the Group Stage positions). R3 is also two legs.
Round 4 is the Semi-Finals.
Again, the highest-ranked team will play the lowest-ranked remaining side. SF also two legs.
And then the Final takes place in Gameweek 22. One leg – No replay if drawn.
The 2025-26 Champions League kicks off on Saturday October 18th. The fixtures will be announced here shortly.
