The 2023/24 Champions League enters into a two-month break from mid-December ahead of the Round of 16 stage in February 2024.
The qualification picture for the knockout rounds will follow on from the traditional group stage format for the final time this season, ahead of major format changes for the 2024/25 campaign.
The top two teams from Groups A to H will qualify automatically for the Round of 16 with the competition then turning into a straight elimination-style tournament from that point onwards, albeit with ties over two legs.
The road to the Round of 16 begins with the UEFA draw and The Sporting News has all the key details on the event including date, time, broadcast and streaming information.
When is the Champions League Round of 16 draw?
The draw for the Round of 16 will be made at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday, December 18, 2023 at 12 noon CET (6 a.m. ET).
The teams will be divided into group winners and second-place finishers, with each runner-up drawn against a group winner.
No team can be drawn against a rival from the same country until at least the quarterfinals. Third-place finishers in each Champions League group will drop into the Europa League playoff round.
