Champions League 2023/24 qualifying fixtures: Live stream info and kick off times
We may only be one month on from the Champions League final but qualifying for the 2023/24 campaign has already started.
Manchester City claimed their first European Cup last month by beating Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul, capping off just the second-ever Treble for an English side in men’s football. Pep Guardiola’s side are already favourites to reclaim their crown, having been most-favoured at the start of every campaign, but before their defence officially starts in the group stage we’ve got a lot of qualifying rounds to go through.
Qualifying has already started and three teams have said goodbye to the Champions League, with Atletic Club d’Escaldes (Andorra), Tre Penne (San Marino) and Buducnost Podgorica (Montenegro) dropping in the preliminary round.
The first qualifying round sees some familiar names start their quest to reach the group stage, including Ludogorets, Sheriff Tiraspol and Shamrock Rovers, who all have to overcome first leg defeats and Qarabag and Maccabi Haifa, who both have one foot in the next round. The first qualifying round ties are played across two legs, with the winners going through to the Champions Path second qualifying round. The losers drop into the Europa Conference League Champions Path, with 13 going to the second qualifying round and two receiving a bye into the third qualifying round.
The second qualifying round will see the League Path included, with Genk, Servette, Dnipro-1 and Panathinaikos already knowing their fate. We also welcome Galatasaray, Molde, FC Copenhagen, Aris Limassol and Dinamo Zagreb to the Champions Path, with ties set to be played 25/26 July and 1/2 August.
In the third qualifying round, Sparta Prague, AEK Athens, Rangers, Braga, PSV Eindhoven, Sturm Graz, Marseille and TSC all arrive with ties set for 8/9 August and 15 August. And finally, the play-off round with Young Boys and Antwerp the final entries and the ties set for 22/23 and 29/30 August.
