  • Why the Premier League is likely to earn an extra Champions League spot - and how there could be seven English clubs in next year's competition.

The article discusses the possibility of the Premier League gaining an additional spot in the UEFA Champions League for the 2024/25 season due to changes in the competition's format. UEFA has decided to expand the Champions League from 32 to 36 teams, which could potentially benefit leagues like the Premier League based on their performance in European competitions over the past few seasons. The Premier League's strong showings, particularly in the UEFA coefficient rankings, might secure an extra slot, although this is not guaranteed as it depends on the collective performance of English teams in European competitions compared to other leagues. The expansion aims to increase the competition's revenue and provide more opportunities for teams to participate in Europe's premier club competition. However, the final decision on additional spots will be influenced by the outcomes of the current season's European tournaments.
