The Champions League season generally begins with qualifying rounds in June or July, followed by the group stage from September through December. Knockout rounds occur from February through April, culminating in the final match typically held in late May or early June.

Matches during the group stage are scheduled every two to three weeks, primarily on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, with each team playing six group matches (three home and three away).

Group stage and knockout round matches are usually played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:00 PM Central European Time (CET), although some matches may begin at 6:45 PM CET for scheduling flexibility and TV coverage.

After the group stage, a knockout-round draw determines matchups and schedules for the Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and ultimately the Final. Knockout rounds typically start in mid-February, with matches played across two legs (home and away), except for the final, which is a single match.

Teams finishing first in their groups face second-placed teams from other groups in the Round of 16, with specific restrictions such as clubs from the same nation or the same group initially avoided. Matchups from Quarterfinals onward have no restrictions.
