UEFA calculates the coefficient of each club and association each season based on the clubs' results in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League. The season coefficients from the five seasons are used to determine the positions of the associations in the access list (association coefficient) and to rank the clubs for seeding purposes (club coefficient). In addition, the season coefficients from the ten seasons are used to calculate revenue club coefficients for revenue distribution purposes only.

The associations' positions in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League access list (Annex A) are determined on the basis of the five-season association coefficients established at the end of the 2023/24 season, i.e. the cumulative total of the associations' season coefficients from seasons 2019/20 to 2023/24 inclusive.

The five-season club coefficients for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League are established before the start of the 2025/26 season, on the basis of each club's season coefficients from seasons 2020/21 to 2024/25 inclusive.

The ten-season revenue coefficients for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League are established before the start of the 2025/26 season, on the basis of each club's season coefficients from seasons 2015/16 to 2024/25 inclusive.

1. Qualifying phase and play-offs:

   • Clubs that are eliminated in the UEFA Europa League qualifying phase or play-offs are awarded points in the UEFA Conference League (see Annex D.4.3).

2. League phase onwards (except knockout phase play-offs):

   • 2 points for a win;

   • 1 point for a draw;

   • 0 points for a defeat.

3. Guaranteed minimum:

   Clubs are guaranteed a minimum of three points in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League even if the number of points actually obtained during this stage is lower. This guaranteed minimum is not added to points actually obtained in the league phase and is not included in the association coefficient calculation.

1. Qualifying phase and play-offs:

   • 1 point awarded to each club eliminated in the first qualifying round;

   • 1.5 points awarded to each club eliminated in the second qualifying round;

   • 2 points awarded to each club eliminated in the third qualifying round;

   • 2.5 points awarded to each club eliminated in the play-offs.

2. League phase onwards (except knockout phase play-offs):

   • 2 points for a win;

   • 1 point for a draw;

   • 0 points for a defeat.

3. Guaranteed minimum:

   Clubs are guaranteed a minimum of 2.5 points in the league phase of the UEFA Conference League, even if the number of points actually obtained during this stage is lower. This guaranteed minimum is not added to points actually obtained in the league phase and is not included in the association coefficient calculation.

Clubs are awarded the following bonus points based on their final position in the league phase rankings:

Clubs that reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals or final are awarded 1.5 extra points for each such round in the UEFA Champions League, 1 extra point for each such round in the UEFA Europa League, and 0.5 extra points for each such round in the UEFA Conference League.

These bonus points are also included in the association coefficient calculation.

A club’s revenue club coefficient is calculated using the same season coefficients as for the club coefficient (see Annex D.4), but with a ten-season instead of a five-season reference period as stipulated in Annex D.2.

A club’s ten-season revenue coefficient is the cumulative total of its ten season coefficients from the reference period stipulated in Annex D.2, or 20% of the equivalent ten-season total of its association's season coefficients, whichever is higher.

Match points are awarded based on the final scores ratified by UEFA. Penalty shoot-outs do not count.

Coefficients are calculated to the thousandth and not rounded up.

If competition rounds are changed and matches are played as single-leg instead of two-legged ties, the points awarded under Annex D.3, Annex D.4.1.b, Annex D.4.2.b and Annex D.4.3.b are adapted as follows:

1. 3 points for a win in regular time or extra time (1.5 points for qualifying and play-off matches);

2. 2 points for a draw in extra time (1 point for qualifying and play-off matches);

3. 1 point for a defeat in regular time or extra time (0.5 points for qualifying and play-off matches).

This does not apply to the final of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League.

If two or more clubs are ranked equally, the following criteria are applied, in this order, to determine their final rankings:

• their coefficients in the most recent of the seasons on which the rankings are based;

• their coefficients in the next most recent season in which they are not equal;

• the association coefficient of the club’s respective association;

• their position in the domestic championship in the most recent season.

If two or more associations are ranked equally, the following criteria are applied, in this order, to determine their final rankings:

• their coefficients in the most recent of the seasons on which the rankings are based;

• their coefficients in the next most recent season in which they are not equal.

The UEFA administration takes final decisions on any matters not provided for in this annex.

In order to guarantee a consistently high standard of coverage for all matches, there should be a minimum number of camera positions for the host broadcaster, all of which may be equipped with microphones to capture ambient sound, plus additional positions available to audiovisual rights-holders to supplement their coverage. Clubs must ensure that all the camera positions described below can be accommodated, unless they present any safety or security risk. All cameras must respect the minimum distances from the touchlines and team benches indicated in Annex F, unless otherwise agreed by UEFA owing to specific permanent stadium infrastructure conditions (e.g. existing pitch surrounding installations, including the technical area). All pitch-facing camera positions mentioned in this annex must provide an unobstructed view of the whole pitch. All camera platforms must be installed in accordance with Article 33 of the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations. Additional cameras, camera technology or equipment may be used for selected matches during the cycle and may require new or additional positions in the stadiums concerned. Subject to space availability and safety and security considerations, such camera positions may be approved by UEFA on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the audiovisual rights-holders and clubs involved.
