Celtic Champions League draw details: Live stream, TV channel, start time, new format and potential opponents

Celtic will take part in the newly revamped Champions League group stages this season - with Brendan Rodgers’ side taking on EIGHT different clubs as part of a revamped format.

The 'League Phase' will see the Hoops play four games at home and four away, with each team only squaring off against each other once. The changes have been implemented from this season and is likely to prove more lucrative for the Parkhead club compared to the traditional group stage.

GlasgowWorld breaks down how the revised format of the tournament works, who Celtic could be drawn against as a pot THREE team and where you can tune in to watch the draw live.

Where and when is the Champions League group phase draw?

The Champions League group phase draw is scheduled to take place in Monaco on Thursday, August 29 when Celtic will discover their opponents. It is scheduled to begin at 5pm.

Is the Champions League draw on TV? Is it available to stream live?

Yes, it will be broadcast LIVE on TNT Sports. Amazon Prime Video will also show it after the company purchased UEFA rights. UEFA.com will also stream the draw live. While not yet confirmed, TNT Sports' YouTube channel often shows the draw.

How does the revised Champions League format work?

This season marks the 70th season of Europe's elite club competition. The biggest change is to the group stage, which will become a single 36-team league stage. Each club faces eight different teams (four home, four away). The top eight clubs overall advance directly to the round of 16; sides finishing from ninth to 24th will contest the knockout round play-offs, with the winners going through to the last 16. From then on it is a straight knockout.
