Arsenal will not be in Pot 1 for next season’s Champions League draw.
Starting next season, the Champions League will adopt a new format, replacing the traditional group stage with a league format. The number of teams will also increase from 32 to 36.
The draw, set for August 29, will divide the qualified teams into four seeding pots based on the UEFA club coefficient. Each team will then be drawn to play two opponents from each pot.
