Who has qualified for the 2026/27 Champions League?

Champions League 2026-27

The Champions League qualification rounds officially come to a conclusion this evening.

It means we are now closing in on the start of club football’s biggest competition, with fixtures getting underway from September 8th.

Paris Saint-Germain are the defending champions after lifting back-to-back titles. Luis Enrique’s side beat Arsenal on penalties in last season’s finale, with Gabriel Magalhaes missing the crucial spot kick for the Gunners.

Can anyone stop PSG this season? Given the quality possessed by the French champions, perhaps not!

So, let’s start running through the teams who will play in the League Phase of the 2026-27 Champions League.

And all the latest Champions League odds are available to view on NetBet Sport, and our great features such as Bet Builder and Acca Boost add an extra layer of excitement to the midweek European action this season.

Who was victorious in the final round of 2026-26 Champions League qualifiers?

LASK produced one of the great Champions League comebacks on Tuesday night to beat Celtic 5-4 on aggregate after extra-time, and bag a spot in the League Phase!

The Austrian side won 5-1 on home soil in the second leg after suffering a 3-0 loss in Glasgow, Samuel Adeniran netting the winner in the 109th minute.

Sabah FK secured Champions League qualification for the first time, the Azerbaijani outfit eventually winning 5-2 on home soil to secure a 6-4 aggregate victory in another tie which went to extra-time.

Bodo/Glimt certainly did not require an additional 30 minutes of play. The Norwegians are back in the League Phase following a 6-1 aggregate success over NEC, partly thanks to a dominant 3-0 home win on Tuesday evening.
