How the draw will work
There will be four pots with teams separated into eight groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H). No team from the same federation can be drawn against each other at this stage, with certain teams paired.
To ensure that paired clubs from the same country play on separate days, UEFA have colour co-ordinated the eight groups. Groups A to D will be red, group E to H will be blue.
It means that a team drawn in a red group, the paired team will automatically be assigned to a blue group. See below which teams are paired against each other.
