Types of Champions League bets
Popular options for Champions League matches
For every match you will find the classic markets. The most chosen options:
- Match result (1X2): you bet on the outcome - home win (1), draw (X) or away win (2).
- Double chance: you cover two of the three outcomes (1X, 12 or X2), a more cautious choice.
- Both teams to score: you predict whether both teams score in the match.
- Total goals (over/under): you bet on whether more or fewer than a set number of goals are scored.
- Asian handicap and correct score: for those looking for a more specific bet.
Betting on the winner of the Champions League (outright)
With the outright market you bet on the eventual winner of the tournament. These odds evolve throughout the season: from the league phase, through the knockout phase, to the final - as clubs are eliminated or hit form. You can usually bet on the tournament winner all season long, and also on markets such as the top scorer or the winner of a specific side of the bracket.

Live betting on the Champions League
How does live betting work?
During the matches there are live odds that move with the flow of play. So you place your bet while the match is under way, based on what you see happening on the pitch - a red card, an early goal or a team pushing forward.
Popular live markets
In-play you often choose markets such as the next goal, the final score, over/under during the match or the winner of the second half. The offer adapts per match.
Following the data too
You can follow the current standings, live scores and results straight from the betting offer, so you can base your choices on the latest state of play.
Which teams can you bet on?
The clubs
You can bet on all 36 league phase participants, from the European heavyweights to the debutants. You can follow the Belgian contingent closely too: Club Brugge are directly qualified as champions, while Union Saint-Gilloise are trying to qualify through the qualifying rounds.
Competition format & season
Since 2024/2025, 36 clubs play in one shared league phase (no more groups). Each club plays 8 matches. The top 8 qualify directly for the round of 16; the clubs in positions 9 to 24 play a play-off round for the remaining tickets. You can find more detail in the guide on how the Champions League works.
Standings, results & schedule
You can follow the league phase standings, the results per matchday and the full schedule live in the betting offer. That way you know exactly which clubs are on course for the knockout phase.
From qualification to the final
Qualification
Before the league phase begins, clubs battle through several qualifying rounds and play-offs for a ticket. Read how that works and which Belgian clubs are involved in the guide about qualification.
The draw
The league phase draw decides who each club faces; it takes place on 27 August 2026 in Monaco. You can read everything about the pots and the rules in the draw guide.
Knockout phase & final
After the league phase come the play-offs, the round of 16, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and the final (on 5 June 2027 in Madrid). Every round up to the final is played over two legs; the final is a single match at a neutral venue.
