The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase draw is scheduled for today, Thursday, August 27, with proceedings beginning at exactly 5pm UK time, corresponding to 18:00 CET at the venue.
Venue and officials
The ceremony will be hosted at the Grimaldi Forum, a major conference and congress centre in Monaco. The venue is frequently chosen by UEFA for important administrative events and has a long history of hosting standard European football draws. UEFA officials, including deputy secretary general Giorgio Marchetti, will manage the mechanics of the event on stage.
How to watch on TV and online
UK viewers can watch the event on TNT Sports 1, with network television coverage starting precisely at 5pm, aligning with the commencement of the ceremony. Fans on mobile devices or smart televisions can stream the event live using the Discovery+ app or the HBO Max app, depending on their subscription package. These platforms require an active, paid premium account connected to TNT Sports to access the live video feed.
For those without a paid subscription, UEFA provides live coverage through its own digital platforms. The entire draw can be watched for free via a live video player on UEFA.com, the official website of European football's governing body. The same official live stream is also accessible within the UEFA Champions League mobile application.
