The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage draw on August 25 will gift fans around the world several compelling matchups as it is known to do every season without fail.
The compressed schedule for the group matches this season due to the 2022 World Cup should make for an even more unpredictable set of results. All six pressure-packed matchdays will be played in the span of just eight weeks.
The four English Premier League clubs enter the competition among the favourites to win it all, though it’s the German Bundesliga that features the most representatives with five. French power PSG, defending champions Real Madrid, and Spain’s other powerhouse teams are also likely to make deep runs.
Where might the outsiders come from in 2022/23? The Portuguese sides have historically been tough outs, and the Italian clubs will be desperate to return to the final. Shakhtar Donetsk will be motivated to show Ukrainian football is back, while Scottish rivals Celtic and Rangers will be competing at a distance as to which Glasgow club leaves its mark on the tournament.
The table for Groups A-H and the match schedule for each group will be updated following the group stage draw with the first matches set to be played on September 6-7.

The top two finishers from each group will advance to the Round of 16.
Teams collect three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. In cases where teams are even on points, there is a list of predetermined group stage tiebreakers outlined in the official tournament rules which start with goal difference and then goals scored in matches played between the teams in question.

The full list of UEFA Champions League group stage tiebreakers follow below as per the official tournament regulations:
- points obtained in group matches played among teams in question
- superior goal difference from group matches played among teams in question
- goals scored in group matches played among teams in question
- superior goal difference in all group matches
- goals scored in all group matches
- away goals scored in all group matches
- wins in all group matches
- away wins in all group matches
- disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards
- UEFA club coefficient
One twist to the tiebreaker rules: If there are three or more teams deadlocked on points and tiebreakers No. 1-3 help to separate one or more of those teams, then tiebreakers No. 1-3 are reapplied to any remaining teams that are still tied before moving on to No. 4-10.
