This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team clinches a spot in the League Phase of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League (scheduled to start September 8, 2026) per the rules of UEFA. Otherwise, the associated market will resolve to "No". If at any point it becomes impossible for the listed team to advance to the League Phase of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League (e.g. they are mathematically eliminated in the qualifying rounds or play-off round), the associated market will resolve to "No". Any tiebreaker (extra time or penalty shoot-out within a qualifying tie) will not be considered separate from League Phase qualification. If the League Phase of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League is cancelled, postponed to begin after September 8, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the full 36-team League Phase field has not been officially confirmed by UEFA within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be official information from UEFA and/or the clinching team; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
