The 2023/24 Champions League has taken a short break, with the Round of 16 stage set to kick off in February 2024 after the traditional group stage qualifying matches. This marks the last season before major format changes are implemented for the 2024/25 campaign.
The top two teams from Groups A to H will automatically qualify for the Round of 16, leading to a straight elimination-style tournament with two-legged ties. The draw for the Round of 16 will take place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday, December 18, 2023 at 12 noon CET (6 a.m. ET).
There are restrictions on teams being drawn against rivals from the same country until at least the quarterfinals. Third-place finishers in each Champions League group will drop into the Europa League playoff round.
The draw start time for the Round of 16 has been scheduled to accommodate various time zones around the world, with major territories all having specific kickoff times for the draw.
UEFA has confirmed that the Round of 16 draw will be streamed live on UEFA.com, and broadcast and streaming details for individual countries will be confirmed closer to the draw date.
The list of qualified teams for the 2023/24 Champions League Round of 16 will continue to be updated after each matchday, with Manchester City, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, and Inter Milan all having progressed as of November 27.
