The 2023/24 Champions League enters into a two-month break from mid-December ahead of the Round of 16 stage in February 2024.

The qualification picture for the knockout rounds will follow on from the traditional group stage format for the final time this season, ahead of major format changes for the 2024/25 campaign.

The top two teams from Groups A to H will qualify automatically for the Round of 16 with the competition then turning into a straight elimination-style tournament from that point onwards, albeit with ties over two legs.

The road to the Round of 16 began with the UEFA draw and The Sporting News has all the key details on the event including date, time, broadcast and streaming information.
