UEFA Champions League Round of 16 fixtures: Complete schedule, dates and times for all 2022/23 knockout matches

This is where the UEFA Champions League gets good. The knockout rounds of the 2022/23 competition featuring the cream of the crop kick off with the Round of 16 beginning in February.

The Round of 16 draw on Monday, November 7 will pit the group winners against one of the group runners-up. And the way the pots line up, there are several fascinating matchups that could materialise.

All eyes will be on PSG’s Round of 16 fate as they could be drawn against other tournament favorites like Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Last season, PSG’s bid for their first Champions League trophy ended at the Round of 16 stage after a difficult draw, losing out to eventual champions Real Madrid.

Other Round of 16 heavyweight matchups will likely feature Liverpool, Inter Milan and AC Milan, who all finished as group runners-up and will be nightmare matchups for other title hopefuls.

When is the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal draw?

Once we have the final eight teams left standing after the Round of 16, the Champions League quarterfinal draw will take place on Friday, March 17, 2023.

That day, the draw will also take place for the semifinals and final so that every club will know its path to the title.

Champions League schedule for knockout rounds

With a mid-season men’s FIFA World Cup tournament and the resulting scheduling congestion, the rest of the 2023 Champions League knockout schedule will stretch out until June.

The current schedule contemplates one round of knockout matches every month between April and June to take us from the quarterfinals to the final at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

• Quarterfinals: April 11/12 (1st Leg), April 18/19 (2nd Leg)
• Semifinals: May 9/10 (1st Leg), May 16/17 (2nd Leg)
• Final: Saturday, June 10

No away goals in Champions League

The away goals tiebreaker which had been a feature of the tournament’s knockout rounds since 1965 was abolished for the 2021/22 edition with UEFA citing sporting justice among other reasons.

If teams are level on total goals scored after the conclusion of the second leg, then a 30-minute extra time period will be played with a penalty shootout used to determine a winner if the deadlock persists.

There were only two knockout round matchups that needed extra time in 2021/22 and both featured eventual champion Real Madrid.

The Spanish champions needed extra time to knock off English foes Chelsea (quarterfinals) and Manchester City (semifinals) before taking care of Liverpool in the final in regular time.

Who will win the Champions League in 2023?

Big-spending Manchester City and PSG are among the top three candidates to win the 2023 UEFA Champions League final, according to the betting market.

After a perfect group stage run, German powers Bayern Munich are sandwiched in between as second favourites showing little drop-off after swapping Robert Lewandowski with Sadio Mane during the summer.

It’s no surprise to see the four cash-rich English clubs figure among the top eight, while three of the four German clubs still in the running are among the bottom teams with the longest odds.
