2021–22 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round |
The 2021–22 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round will begin on 22 June and end on 25 August 2021. All times are CEST (), as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses). |
The Champions Path includes all league champions which do not qualify directly for the group stage, and consists of the following rounds: |
All teams eliminated from the Champions Path will enter either the Europa League or the Europa Conference League: |
Below are the participating teams of the Champions Path (with their 2021 UEFA club coefficients), grouped by their starting rounds. |

Below are the participating teams of the League Path (with their 2021 UEFA club coefficients), grouped by their starting rounds. |
Each tie, apart from the preliminary round, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advance to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e. if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out. In the preliminary round, where single-match semi-finals and final are hosted by one of the participating teams, if scores are level at the end of normal time, extra time is played, followed by penalty shoot-out if scores remain tied. |
In the draws for each round, teams are seeded based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots containing the same number of teams. A seeded team is drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs (or the administrative "home" team in the preliminary round matches) in each tie decided by draw. As the identity of the winners of the previous round is not known at the time of the draws, the seeding is carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advances to this round, which means if the team with the lower coefficient is to advance, it simply takes the seeding of its opponent. Prior to the draws, UEFA may form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, but they are purely for convenience of the draw and do not resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition. Teams from associations with political conflicts as decided by UEFA may not be drawn into the same tie. After the draws, the order of legs of a tie may be reversed by UEFA due to scheduling or venue conflicts. |
The schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland). |
