The Premier League’s race for the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League is getting intense, with up to seven teams still in contention to qualify. Find out which clubs are alive and how even 8th place might secure UCL berth.
The race to qualify for the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League is heating up in the Premier League as the season heads towards its final weeks. With Liverpool already crowned champions and securing one of the spots, five other teams are fighting hard to grab the remaining four Champions League places.
England has been given an extra spot in the Champions League thanks to its clubs performing well in UEFA competitions this season. That means the top five teams in the league will qualify, instead of the usual four.
Also, if Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur win the UEFA Europa League this season, they too will go straight into the Champions League. This means up to six English teams could play in the Champions League next season.
