  • Will the Premier League get an extra Champions League spot next season? - The league could be awarded another place in Europe's premier competition depending on how teams fare in 2024/25

The article discusses the possibility of the Premier League gaining an extra spot in the UEFA Champions League for the next season due to changes in the competition's format. UEFA is expanding the Champions League to include 36 teams instead of the current 32, which will introduce a new league phase format. This expansion could potentially benefit leagues like the Premier League, especially if English teams perform well in European competitions this season. The allocation of additional spots is based on the performance of clubs from each country in all European competitions over the current season. If England's coefficient ranking improves, it could secure an additional slot, potentially allowing five English teams to qualify for the Champions League. However, this is contingent on the performance of teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and others in their respective European tournaments.
