UEFA Chammpions League 2025/2026 To Win Outright Odds

UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Betting Odds & Season Preview

These are the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 outright winner odds released by bookmaker William Hill on September 11 — exactly one week before the start of the new league phase.

At the top of the market, Liverpool lead the pack as favorites at 6.5, followed closely by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain at 7.0. Last season’s champions sit just behind, while Real Madrid and Arsenal both stand at 8.0, with Manchester City priced at 9.0. That makes six elite clubs all within single digits, highlighting just how competitive this campaign is expected to be.

With the new Champions League league phase format — introduced last season — punters need to weigh fixtures carefully before placing a bet. The top 8 sides go directly to the knockout stage, while teams finishing 9th to 24th must fight it out in the playoffs for the remaining spots. Securing a top-8 finish is crucial to avoid extra high-pressure matches, making every one of the eight group fixtures vital for banking points.

Liverpool open their campaign at Anfield against Atlético Madrid, followed by away trips to Galatasaray and Eintracht Frankfurt. Their fourth game is another blockbuster: a home clash with Real Madrid. That means both Madrid giants will be coming to Anfield this autumn. The Reds then round out their schedule with PSV, Inter, Marseille, and Qarabağ.

Barcelona, meanwhile, face defending champions PSG in their second match and a tricky away tie against Chelsea in their fifth. Aside from those, their fixtures look more favorable, offering plenty of chances to grab maximum points.

When comparing Liverpool and Barcelona, the latter may have the smoother path to the knockouts. But predicting the Champions League winner is never that simple. Bettors should consider not only fixtures, but also player form, squad depth, managerial tactics, and historical matchups.

Whether you’re betting with data-driven strategy or simply backing your favorite team, the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 season promises drama and opportunity. Place your bets wisely — and may luck be on your side!

CL Past Odds & Results Archive

Curious how the odds stacked up in recent UEFA Champions League seasons? Here’s a look back at the outright winner and top scorer markets as priced by bookmakers before kickoff. Use these records to spot trends, compare expectations with reality, and revisit some of the biggest stories from the past few years!

CL 24/25 Odds & Winner

The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League marked its 70th edition with the final played on May 31, 2025, at the Fußball Arena München in Germany. Paris Saint-Germain claimed their first-ever title in dominant fashion, defeating Inter Milan 5–0 in the final.

This season brought a major shake-up in the tournament's format. The number of participating clubs expanded from 32 to 36, and the traditional group stage was replaced by a new "league phase" format. In this new setup, all 36 teams competed in a single league table, playing eight matches each—four at home and four away—against different opponents. The top eight teams advanced directly to the Round of 16, while teams ranked 9th to 24th entered a knockout round play-off. The winners of those play-offs then joined the Round of 16, which followed the familiar knockout format from previous years.

Before the season kicked off, bookmaker William Hill had installed Manchester City as the favorites at 3.50 odds, with defending champions Real Madrid close behind at 4.00. Arsenal were priced at 9.00, followed by Bayern Munich and Liverpool at 12.00. Barcelona stood at 15.00, Inter Milan—eventual finalists—at 19.00, and PSG at 21.00. The unexpected result hints at the impact of the new tournament format, which added fresh unpredictability to the campaign.

In the end, PSG lifted their first European crown in record-breaking style—the largest margin of victory ever in a Champions League final—achieving what even the legendary Messi-Neymar-Mbappé trio couldn't during their time at the club.

CL 23/24 Odds & Winner

The 2023/24 UEFA Champions League ended with Real Madrid once again crowned champions. It was their record-extending 15th title, while manager Carlo Ancelotti secured his fifth Champions League trophy—another all-time high.

In the final, Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund, who were making their first final appearance in 11 years and aiming for their second European crown after 27 years. The match remained goalless until late in the second half, when Dani Carvajal broke the deadlock, followed by a goal from Vinícius Júnior to seal a 2–0 victory. Both goals were memorable: the opener came from a Toni Kroos corner in his farewell season, and the second was assisted by Jude Bellingham—who had just left Dortmund the previous summer. Vinícius, notably, scored again in a Champions League final, having also netted the winner against Liverpool two years earlier.

Looking back at the odds from the start of the tournament, Real Madrid were priced at 9.00 to win it all. They went on to eliminate two higher-rated contenders—Manchester City and Bayern Munich—on their way to lifting the trophy. Interestingly, Madrid's odds to reach the final were 4.33, while Dortmund's were a distant 17.00.

As for the top scorers, Kylian Mbappé (PSG) and Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) shared the Golden Boot with 8 goals each. Both had been among the favorites pre-tournament, with Golden Boot odds of 5.00.

CL 22/23 Odds & Winner

Manchester City began their Champions League journey in the 2011/12 season, after finishing third in the Premier League under Roberto Mancini the year prior. Since then, they’ve qualified for the UCL for 12 consecutive seasons, advancing to the knockout stage every year from 2013/14 onward. However, success in Europe didn’t come easy. Their first-ever final appearance came in 2020/21, where they lost to fellow English side Chelsea.

The following season, they suffered a dramatic semifinal defeat to Real Madrid, losing 6–5 on aggregate after winning the first leg 4–3 but falling 3–1 in the second.

In the 2022/23 campaign, City were drawn into Group G alongside Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, and Copenhagen. They topped the group unbeaten with 4 wins and 2 draws. In the knockout rounds, they dispatched Leipzig in the Round of 16 and Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals—taking down Germany’s top three clubs in the process. The semifinals brought a rematch with Real Madrid, and this time City dominated: a 1–1 draw away was followed by a 4–0 victory at home, sending them to the final once again.

Their opponents in the final were Inter Milan—marking the first-ever Champions League meeting between the two sides. In the 68th minute, Rodri scored the decisive goal, sealing a 1–0 win and City’s long-awaited first European crown.

As for the odds, Manchester City were the pre-tournament favorites, priced at 3.50 to win the Champions League. Erling Haaland, who finished as the competition’s top scorer, had a Golden Boot odds of 4.50. City’s odds to reach the final were also the shortest at 2.62—indicating a widely expected outcome. On the other hand, Inter Milan’s odds to reach the final were a long shot at 21.00.

CL 21/22 Odds & Winner

The 2021/22 UEFA Champions League was won by Real Madrid. Karim Benzema, with 15 goals, claimed his first Champions League Golden Boot (and also topped the La Liga scoring chart that season), ultimately earning the Ballon d’Or later that year. Manager Carlo Ancelotti secured his record-breaking fourth Champions League title as a coach.

Madrid’s knockout journey began against Paris Saint-Germain. After losing the first leg away, they turned the tie around in the return leg at home—thanks to a stunning hat-trick from Benzema.

In the quarterfinals, they faced Chelsea. Benzema netted another hat-trick in the first leg, leading Madrid to a 3–1 win. Chelsea came back strong in the second leg, leveling the aggregate score and forcing extra time. Once again, it was Benzema who delivered the decisive blow.

The semifinal was against Manchester City. Despite Benzema scoring twice and Vinícius Jr. adding another, Madrid lost the first leg 4–3. The second leg seemed to be slipping away after City scored in the 73rd minute. But in dramatic fashion, Rodrygo scored twice in the dying minutes to force extra time, where Benzema converted a penalty to complete the comeback.

The final was a rematch of the 2017/18 showdown against Liverpool. Although Liverpool dominated possession and chances, it was Vinícius Jr. who broke the deadlock in the 59th minute. That goal proved decisive, as Madrid held on to secure their record-extending 14th Champions League title.

It was a knockout stage dominated by Benzema’s brilliance. Reflecting on the pre-tournament odds, Real Madrid were the seventh-favorite at 15.00 to win it all, and Benzema’s Golden Boot odds were also north of 15.00—making their triumph all the more remarkable.

CL 20/21 Odds & Winner

Chelsea lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in the 2020/21 season, claiming their second European title—nine years after their first.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the group stage began later than usual, kicking off on October 20. Despite a condensed schedule, the tournament proceeded as normal from the knockout stage onward. The final was held at Estádio do Dragão in Porto, Portugal.

Chelsea’s campaign was defined by a record-breaking defense, arguably one of the best in Champions League history. Across 13 matches (6 in the group stage and 7 in the knockout rounds), they conceded just four goals. Goalkeeper Édouard Mendy kept nine clean sheets in the 12 matches he played, and remarkably, Chelsea were behind on the scoreboard for only five minutes in the entire tournament.

Their knockout run began with a commanding 3–0 aggregate win over Atlético Madrid. In the quarterfinals, they edged past Porto 2–1, and in the semifinals, they dispatched Real Madrid 3–1 on aggregate. The final was an all-English affair, where Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1–0 to secure the crown.

Chelsea weren’t among the favorites heading into the tournament—their pre-tournament title odds stood at 21.00. Meanwhile, the Golden Boot was claimed by Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund, who scored 10 goals. At just 20 years old, Haaland became the youngest player ever to win the Champions League Golden Boot. His pre-tournament odds for top scorer were around 9.00.
