The current, historical 32-team group stage format will transition to a 36-team league phrase from 2024.
Each team will face eight different opponents, drawn from each of the four pots — resulting in 4 home games and 4 away games with total 8 games guaranteed.
Teams that secure positions 1 to 8 will qualify directly for the round of 16. Teams ranked 9 to 24 will compete against each other in a knockout play-off round.
Teams ranked 25 to 36 will be eliminated from all competitions with immediate effect, UEFA confirms.
