The Investec Champions Cup draw - how it works
24 clubs have qualified for the 2025/26 Investec Champions Cup - eight from England’s Gallagher Premiership, eight from France’s TOP 14 and eight from the United Rugby Championship.
The 24 clubs have been divided into two tiers: Tier 1 and Tier 2.
The four teams in Tier 1 are those to have won their respective leagues (Stade Toulousain, Bath Rugby and Leinster Rugby), plus last season’s winners, Union Bordeaux Bègles.
The rest of the sides are placed into Tier 2.
To start the draw, the four Tier 1 clubs will be drawn with the first club drawn going into Pool 1, the second club into Pool 2, and so on.
The 20 remaining Tier 2 sides will then be drawn into respective pools, according to the key principals of the draw - see here.
