2015-16 UEFA Youth League
The 2015-16 UEFA Youth League is the third campaign of European football's Under-19 competition. Its format has been partially revamped from the previous campaign, with the number of teams competing doubling from 32 to 64. The Champions League path will remain largely the same, with the group stage draw and fixtures mirroring that of the senior level Champions League and group winners progressing to the knockout round last-16.
Running parallel to the group stage will be a domestic champions path where, for the first time, the domestic youth champions of the 32 best-ranked UEFA associations will compete in two knockout rounds of home-and-away ties. The eight teams remaining will progress to the playoff round, where they will be drawn at home to the eight group runners-up. The playoffs will be one-leg ties and the winners will join the eight group winners in the last-16. The tournament will then progress as normal, with single-leg ties in the last-16, quarter-final and semi-final. The semi-final and final will be held in Nyon, Switzerland, scheduled for 15 April and 18 April 2016.
