Champions League quarter-final draw start time & how to watch in the UK | Football

The Gunners have reached the last eight for the first time since 2010 thanks to David Raya’s penalty shootout heroics against Porto, while holders City cruised past impressive underdogs FC Copenhagen 6-2 on aggregate.

The English sides are the two favourites to win one of the biggest prizes in world sport, but they’ll face stiff competition from the giants of European football.

But when exactly is the Champions League quarter-final draw and how will it all work? Read on for everything you need to know:

When is the Champions League quarter-final draw?

The draw takes place on Friday 15 March at 11am UK time at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

It is important to note that not only will the quarter-final fixtures be drawn but also the semi-final and final.

This means teams will be able to map out their potential route to Wembley, as well as who will be the ‘home’ team in the final – not that that will be on their minds at this stage.

Which teams are in the Champions League quarter-final draw?

The Premier League’s two remaining teams Arsenal and Manchester City have both made it after beating Porto and FC Copenhagen in the last 16.

Spain’s two biggest clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona have also qualified, as have German and French champions Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

Atletico Madrid have also made the cut after beating Inter on penalties on Wednesday evening, while Borussia Dortmund ran out 2-0 winners over PSV and have made it through to the last eight.

Crucially, from the quarter-finals onwards, clubs from the same country can be drawn against each other, meaning there is a possibility the Gunners and the Citizens will play each twice more before the season’s out.

How to watch the Champions League quarter-final draw on TV

The draw will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1 as well as their YouTube channel.

It will also be streamed on UEFA’s website.
