When is the draw for the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League Round of 16? That question will be on the minds of players, managers and supporters of those who have safely navigated their way through the group stages already this season.
Match day six will determine the final entries and there’s a whole host of permutations that will decide who joins the likes of Arsenal, Bayern, Dortmund, Inter, Man City and Real Madrid in the knockout stages. The draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 will pit Europe’s finest against each other, but teams from the same nation and same group can’t meet each other just yet.
2023/24 UEFA Champions League Round Of 16 Draw
The draw for the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League round of 16 will be held at 11am GMT on Monday 18th December. The Champions League draw will take place at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland and can be viewed live on TNT Sports/Paramount+ or streamed via UEFA.com.
The Champions League draw works by quite simply seeding the eight group winners and pairing them off against the eight group runners-up, who will be unseeded. As earlier mentioned, clubs from the same nation can not face each other in the round of 16, but can potentially meet in the quarter-finals.
