The top four teams in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga all earn Champions League qualification. Three spots are given to teams in Ligue 1, while there are two paces for Dutch Eredivisie teams.

The remaining seven places will be decided via knockout qualification rounds which conclude in August.
Scottish champions Celtic will have to get through one round of qualifying to seal a league phase spot in the Champions League.
Rangers, who finished second in the Scottish Premiership, have three rounds of qualifying to get through.
