The 48 teams from 12 countries who participate in Europe’s biggest club competition were drawn into 16 three-team groups by Czech hockey legends Dominik Hasek, Robert Reichel and CHL Chairman Anders Ternbom.
The Group Stage of the 2015/16 season will begin on 20 August and finish on 6 September. Each team will play four games – one home and one away against the other two teams in its group. The first- and second-placed teams in each group will then advance to the 1/16-finals.
With 32 teams in the playoffs, five rounds will be required to determine a champion. The first four rounds will all be two-game, home-and-away, total-goal series, similar to this past season. The playoffs will begin on 22 September and finish with a one-game final on 9 February.
