Fixtures for UEFA Youth League confirmed

New set-up for Europe's top youth tournament

Our Young Bulls are also going to start their next European adventure on Wednesday 18 September as the new UEFA Youth League season starts! Just like its bigger brother - the UEFA Champions League – the design of Europe's most important U19 competition is changing, albeit with some differences.

The Champions League route is also being replaced by a league phase, albeit only the first six UEFA Champions League fixtures are being replicated. The top 22 teams in the final table will qualify for the last 32 along with ten teams from the champions' route. The knockout phase will consist of single-leg encounters like in previous years.

Our Young Bulls will contest their three league phase home matches, just like last season, at the Red Bull Football Academy. Ticket info for our home matches in the UEFA Youth League are to follow at a later stage!
