All 36 teams in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League league phase will play simultaneously on Wednesday, January 28, with only Arsenal and Bayern Munich already secured in the top eight. The top eight finishers advance directly to the round of 16, while teams from ninth to 24th enter playoffs, and the bottom 12 are eliminated. English clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle face crucial tests to avoid the playoffs.
Chelsea's position in the Champions League will be finalized on Wednesday night during their match against Napoli in Naples. A victory could secure a direct spot in the last-16, while a draw or loss would likely send them to the play-offs. The Blues currently sit eighth after a 1-0 win over Pafos last week.
