With the introduction of the new format, Celtic will face a unique draw, matching them with two teams from each of the other pots, including their own. This arrangement will result in four home and four away Games for Celtic.

Teams cannot face clubs from their own country and are limited to facing a maximum of two clubs from any other country.

The complete fixture list, including match dates and kickoff times, will be finalised and announced on Saturday, August 31. This delay allows UEFA to manage scheduling coNFLicts with other European comPetitions, especially in cities hosting multiple teams across different tournaments.

Given the various possible scenarios in the draw, Celtic could find themselves with some favourable matchups, which might ease their campaign in what is the last season they will automatically qualify for the group stage. From next term, Celtic will need to navigate through the playoff rounds to secure their spot in the Champions League group phase.
