Liverpool will face off against defending champions Real Madrid and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen in the group stage of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.
Arne Slot leads his team back into the competition this season after they finished third in the Premier League under former boss Jurgen Klopp in 2023/24.
The Reds are the most successful English side in Champions League history, with two title wins, and six overall including its predecessor the UEFA European Cup.
Slot will look to lead his side to the knockout stages in 2025, in UEFA's new and expanded tournament. To do so, they must qualify from the league phase, which is replacing the more traditional group stage from this season onwards.
Here is how their Champions League schedule looks.

How to buy Champions League tickets 2024/25Once dates and times for Champions League fixtures are confirmed, the ticket process will begin. Other than the final itself, tickets cannot be purchased from UEFA directly for European matches.
Instead, the primary ticket sales are conducted by the participating clubs themselves so that fans can access them seamlessly just as they would other matches.
Once the tickets are distributed, fans can still get tickets on secondary market, with StubHub International as the best place to find tickets to Champions League games.
2024/25 UEFA Champions League format explainedThe main difference for this season's Champions League is the group stage has been replaced with a new 'league phase', as the number of teams competing increases from 32 to 36.
Previously, 32 teams qualified for the initial phase of the tournament. They were then drawn into eight groups of four, with seedings used to help determine which teams were placed where. This was the 'group stage'.
From 2024/25 onwards, the first phase of the competition sees all 36 teams placed into a league format. Each team will face eight others (four at home, four away), earning three points for a win and one for a draw in their matches.
Teams finishing in the top eight of the league phase will qualify for the Round of 16 stage automatically, with those placed from 9th to 24th facing a playoff to reach the knockout phase and complete the field for the first elimination round.
The competition then follows its more traditional knockout-stage format (i.e. two-legged ties between two teams, with the winner advancing to the next round) all the way to the final.
