The 2009–10 UEFA Champions League is the 55th edition of Europe's premier club football tournament and the eighteenth edition under the current UEFA Champions League format. It is also the first edition under the new qualifying format. Barcelona are the defending champions. The final will be played on 22 May 2010, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home ground of Real Madrid, in Madrid, Spain.[1] This year's final will be the first to be played on a Saturday night, and the matches from the first knockout round will be spread over four weeks instead of two.
Association team allocation
A total of 76 teams will participate in the 2009–10 Champions League, from 52 UEFA associations (Liechtenstein organizes no domestic league competition). Countries are allocated places according to the 2008 UEFA league coefficient.[2] The UEFA ranking determines the number of teams competing in the season after the next, not in the first season after the publication of the ranking. Thus, the 2008 ranking determines the proportion in 2009–10, not 2008–09.
Since Barcelona, the Champions League title holder, have obtained a place in the group stage through their domestic league placing, the reserved defending champion spot will not be used. To compensate, the champion of association 13 (Belgium) will be entered into the group stage, the champion of association 16 (Switzerland) will be promoted to the third qualifying round and the champions of associations 48 and 49 (Faroe Islands and Luxembourg, respectively) to the second qualifying round.[3]
Below is the qualification scheme for the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League:
- Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify
- Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify
- Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify
- Associations 16–53 each have one team qualify (excluding Liechtenstein)
Distribution
- First qualifying round (4 teams)
- 4 champions from associations 50–53

Qualifying phase
In a new system for the Champions League,[4] there are two separate qualifying tournaments. One is for the Champion clubs who did not automatically qualify for the group stage. The other one is for teams who did not win their domestic league and did not automatically qualify for the group stage.
For both sections, the losing teams from the third qualifying round are entered into the UEFA Europa League play-off round and the losing teams from the play-off round are entered into the UEFA Europa League group stage.
First qualifying round
The draw for the first and second qualifying rounds was held on Monday, 22 June 2009 in Nyon, Switzerland. The first leg matches were played on 30 June and 1 July, while the second legs were played on 7 July and 8 July 2009.
None of the seeded teams were eliminated.
| Team 1 | Agg. | Team 2 | 1st leg | 2nd leg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Tre Fiori 
|
2–2 (4–5p)1 |  Sant Julià
|
1–1 | 1–1 (aet) |
Hibernians 
|
0–6 |  Mogren
|
0–2 | 0–4 |
- Notes
- Note 1: Sant Julià was originally drawn to play the first leg at home, but the tie was reversed and Tre Fiori hosted the first leg instead.
Second qualifying round
For the draw clubs were separated into seeded and unseeded teams based on their club coefficient, and because the draw for this round took place before the first qualifying round matches were played, the teams were seeded as if the higher-ranked side in the previous round would be victorious. The first leg matches were played on 14 July and 15 July, while the second legs were played on 21 July and 22 July 2009.
Five of the seeded teams were eliminated: Wisła Kraków, Kalmar FF, FH, Inter Turku, and Ekranas.
Partizan's 8–0 win over Rhyl in the 2nd leg of the second qualifying round represents the largest margin of victory in the current Champions League format.
