The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 draw is set for Friday, with fixtures scheduled for March 10-11 and March 17-18. Eight seeded teams from the league stage, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona, will be matched with eight unseeded playoff winners such as Real Madrid, PSG, and Newcastle United.

Seeded teams will be drawn into positions facing the knockout playoff winners, whose exact placement is determined by a prior draw. This structure ensures balanced matchups while preventing teams from the same league from meeting early.

The draw begins at 11am GMT and will determine the paths for clubs aiming to reach the quarter-finals. Fans worldwide are watching closely as top European sides prepare for the knockout phase.

With Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Arsenal among the unseeded and seeded sides, expectations are high for exciting fixtures. The results of the draw will shape the next stage of Europe’s premier club competition.
