The UEFA Champions League is reaching its climax with the final group stage matches of the 2025-26 season. The league has expanded to 36 teams, making it more exciting but also more complex to follow. With all teams playing simultaneously, the table is constantly changing.

Live Table: The Ultimate Guide

A live table is a great way to keep up with the action. It shows:

  • Real-time standings
  • Goal differences
  • Points totals
  • Predictions for where each team might finish

The table updates live, so fans can see the probabilities of teams making it to:

  • Top eight
  • Knockout play-offs
  • Elimination

Potential Opponents

The final column of the table shows potential opponents for the next round. Teams in the top eight will face one of four possible opponents, as these teams must first compete in a knockout play-off to reach the last 16.

Teams Already Secured

Before the final matchday, some teams have already secured their spots:

  • Arsenal
  • Bayern Munich (already in the last 16)
  • Real Madrid
  • Liverpool (at least secured a spot in the knockout play-off round)

Some teams, like Kairat and Villarreal, have already been eliminated.

Teams Still in the Running

For many teams, the fate is still undecided. Teams like:

  • Ajax
  • Benfica
  • Borussia Dortmund

are still in the running for the knockout play-off round. The final matchday will be crucial for these teams, as they fight to secure their spots in the next round.

The Champions League: Every Match Counts

The Champions League is a tough competition, and every match counts. With so many teams and so much at stake, it's a thrilling time for football fans.
