The first round of the new-look Champions League kicks off this week, with a fresh 36-team league format replacing the old group stage.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Celtic are all involved in the first season of the new format, which will take place across eight gameweeks.
The first gameweek sees City host Inter in a rematch of the 2023 final, Liverpool travel to AC Milan, Arsenal visit Atalanta, Celtic play Slovan Bratislava and Aston Villa mark their first Champions League appearance against Young Boys.
For the first time, the opening round of fixtures will be played across three nights - with six games scheduled to take place on Thursday following the traditional action slots on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Also, there will be a new broadcaster in the UK, with Amazon Prime Video holding rights for one match a week under a new TV agreement. The streaming service will have the top pick each Tuesday, with TNT Sports broadcasting the other matches.
