Champions League draw live steam: How to watch, when is it, start time, who has qualified, pots

The Champions League group stage is almost set, with all 32 teams awaiting their fate at the Aug. 31 draw. Manchester City return with the hopes of successfully defending their title as champions of Europe after winning the Champions League for the first time last season, while Sevilla earn a spot in the competition after becoming Europa League champions. A handful of continental heavyweights, including Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid, all have their eyes on the prize after deep runs in recent years.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will play in the Champions League for the first time since the 2016-17 season while the likes of Newcastle United and Union Berlin will play in the competition for the first time ever. Berlin is one of several clubs with Americans on their books -- Brenden Aaronson joined the club over the summer, while AC Milan will have Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah on hand after signing them in July.
