How this season works
Standings tie-breakers
After points, league-phase rules use goal difference, goals scored, away goals, wins and away wins. At the end of the phase, opponents' combined points, goal difference and goals scored also apply, followed by lower disciplinary points and club coefficient. Head-to-head results are not a tie-breaker.
The table preserves the source's published positions. Disciplinary and coefficient data required for the final tie-breakers are not estimated from incomplete information.
Knockout draw, home advantage and decisions
The play-offs pair 9th/10th with 23rd/24th, 11th/12th with 21st/22nd, 13th/14th with 19th/20th and 15th/16th with 17th/18th. Seeds host the second leg. In the round of 16, the top eight enter their assigned bracket positions and also host the second leg.
From 2025/26, the top four paths host the quarter-final second legs; the top two paths host the semi-final second legs. A team eliminating a seed inherits that position, without reseeding the bracket.
Ties are played over two legs through to the semi-finals. The final is a single match. Away goals do not apply: an aggregate draw leads to extra time and, if needed, penalties.
