The kick-off times from the play-offs onwards are established by the UEFA administration.
The play-offs and league phase matches all kick off in principle at 21:00 CET. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration.
Each matchday in the league phase, two of the Tuesday matches, two of the Wednesday matches and - in the case of the first matchday - two of the Thursday matches kick off at 18:45 CET. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration.
The fixtures on the last matchday of the league phase are played simultaneously on Wednesday at 21:00 CET. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration.
Matches in the knockout phase play-offs and the round of 16 kick off at either 18:45 CET or 21:00 CET. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration.
The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final kick off at 21.00 CET. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration.
The stadium announced at the beginning of the competition is considered as the home stadium of the respective club. It may be the ground of the home club or another ground in the same or another city within the territory of its association. Exceptionally, the UEFA administration may accept a stadium in the territory of another UEFA member association if no other suitable stadium is available in the home territory. In principle, stadiums are approved only if direct international flights and/or charter flights are able to land within an acceptable distance of the host city, in the country of the club concerned. All stadiums are subject to the approval of the UEFA administration.
As of the league phase, a club must in principle play all its matches in the competition at one and the same stadium. Additionally, any change of stadium between the play-offs and the league phase must be agreed in advance with UEFA.
The date and stadium of the final are chosen by the Executive Committee.
