The format of the European Super League is revealed, UEFA plans to “delete” the Champions League
UEFA now thinks about its Super League. The new format will be implemented from 2027 and foresees the “disappearance” of the current Champions. It is not about that project drawn up by the “rebels” Laporta, Perez and Agnelli, but about a competition sponsored by UEFA.
The sensational hypothesis was put forward today, in Spain, by “El Pais”, which writes that Ceferin is considering canceling the current format of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League for a completely new organization.
Instead, a type of European championship with three divisions, with promotion and relegation, would be played. The name of the first division can be the much-discussed one: Superliga.But how would the UEFA Super League work? As mentioned, it would be a sort of 18-team championship with only two relegations each season.
The new format, which would replace the Champions League, would however only start in 2027.
The Europa League and Conference League would retain their current names, but would be transformed into two more groups of 18 teams each.
In this case, there would be four relegations and ascents to the second and third categories of the new European “championship”. While only two teams would climb from the Europa League to the Super League.
The eligibility criteria for the UEFA Super League and the other two divisions are not yet clear.
In this sense, the next meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee, scheduled for the end of October, could reveal new details.
