Qualifying starts in June so technically the Champions League schedule is year-round. The Group Stage is from August to December with games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The knockout round is also on Tuesday and Wednesday from February to April with the Champions League Final on a Saturday in late May or early June.
The Champions League group stage schedule has six games for each team. The knockout round has 16 teams playing home-and-homes. For a team to win the Champions League, they have to play seven games in the knockouts. Assuming the champion doesn’t come from the qualifiers, and they haven’t yet, the champion will play 13 games.
The draws go by round, so August’s group stage is drawn. The round of 16 is drawn in December, and each knockout round is drawn the week after the previous round is completed.
Champions League games are played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays all at night in Europe. The final is played on a Saturday night, European time.
