Each country’s league earns a coefficient ranking based on how their teams perform in Uefa’s three men’s club competitions: the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.<\/p>\n
Coefficient points are earned through match results – two for a win and one for a draw.<\/p>\n
The points earned by clubs from the same domestic league are added up and divided by the number of clubs the league has in Europe.<\/p>\n
For example, if the Premier League had 100 points, that would be split by the number of teams playing in Europe (seven), giving England a coefficient of 14.28.<\/p>\n
This season, bonus points are available to clubs playing in the Champions League, which is advantageous to leagues with more clubs competing in it, such as Germany and Italy.<\/p>\n
Countries that finish in the coefficient table’s top two earn an additional Champions League spot for the following season.<\/p>\n
Those spots are awarded to the teams who finish in the first position below the standard Champions League allocation in those leagues.<\/p>\n
In the Premier League, the top four clubs automatically qualify for the Champions League via league position, so any additional place would go to the team in fifth.<\/p>\n
Additional spots for the 2024-25 Champions League were given to Bologna and Borussia Dortmund, who finished fifth in Serie A and the Bundesliga respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
