The 2023–24 UEFA Champions League was the 69th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 32nd season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 2–0 in the final, which was played at the Wembley Stadium in London, England,[3] for a record-extending 15th European Cup title, and their sixth in eleven years.[4] As winners, Real Madrid earned the right to play against Atalanta, the winners of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League, in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup. They also qualified for the final of the brand-new 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
This was the final season with the current format of 32 teams participating in the group stage, following UEFA's announcement of a new expanded format to be introduced for the following edition.[5]
Manchester City were the defending champions, but were eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Association team allocation
A total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions being Liechtenstein,[Note LIE] which did not organise a domestic league, and Russia[Note RUS]). The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[6]
- Associations 1–4 each had four teams qualify.
- Associations 5–6 each had three teams qualify.
- Associations 7–15 (except Russia)[Note RUS] each had two teams qualify.
- Associations 16–55 (except Liechtenstein)[Note LIE] each had one team qualify.
- The winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League and 2022–23 UEFA Europa League were each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league.
Association ranking
For the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2022 UEFA association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2017–18 to 2021–22.[7] The team allocation reflected Russia's ongoing suspension from UEFA competitions.
Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations could have additional teams (a maximum of 5 per association) participating in the Champions League, as noted below:
