Via the Uefa website, the stream will be free to watch for all while viewers with an EE phone contract can get a free trial of BT Sport to tune in.

How does the draw work?

The eight groups will be made up of a team from each pot.

Pot one contains the reigning Champions League and Europa League holders, as well as the league champions of the six highest-ranked nations - Spain, England, Italy, France, Russia and Portugal.

The remaining 24 teams in pots two-four are ranked by their individual coefficient rankings, which are based on the clubs’ results in the Champions League and Europa League over the past five seasons.

Two clubs from the same country cannot be drawn against each other during the group stage, even if they go into the draw in different pots.
