The Youth League mirrors the Champions League draw for the first team. So the six opponents match the senior side. Two of these clubs have won the tournament before. Chelsea lifted the trophy in 2015 and 2016. Olympiacos won it in 2024. Barcelona arrive as current champions after three straight titles under Juliano Belletti. This season the squad is led by Pol Planas.
The format is also set for this season. After six league phase games, teams ranked 1st to 6th face teams ranked 17th to 22nd in a single match play off on February 3 or 4. Teams that finish 8th to 16th will meet the sides that come from the national champions path. UEFA will then draw the round of 16 and the quarterfinals. Those ties are also single match. The Final Four is at a single venue, with semifinals on April 17 and the final on April 20.
