Basic information (via UEFA.com)

• The 26 teams given direct entry to the group stage under the competition system introduced in 2018/19 are joined by the six winners of the play-off ties.
• No team can play a club from their own association and, based on decisions taken by the UEFA Executive Committee, clubs from Russia and Ukraine must not be drawn in the same group.
• In the case of associations with two or more representatives, clubs will be paired in order to split their matches between Tuesday and Wednesday.
• If a paired club is drawn, for example, in Groups A, B, C or D, the other paired club – once drawn – will automatically be assigned to one of Groups E, F, G or H.
• The draw also establishes the groups for the UEFA Champions League path of the UEFA Youth League.
