The qualification phase is where smaller European clubs begin their journey to the grand stage. Four rounds determine which teams join the 36-team league phase.

Who Are the Favourites to Win the 2025/2026 Champions League?

The 2025/26 UEFA Champions League betting online scene is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons in recent years, with several European giants vying for glory. Liverpool and Barcelona are emerging as joint favourites, both listed around 6/1 odds by major bookmakers, thanks to their depth, experience, and attacking prowess.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the defending champions, remain among the top contenders, boasting a well-balanced squad and valuable experience from last season’s triumph. Real Madrid, under the new leadership of Xabi Alonso, are also seen as strong challengers, combining youth and pedigree in a squad built for knockout success.

Arsenal continues to attract attention with their rapid growth under Mikel Arteta, while Manchester City remains a consistent threat despite some recent European setbacks. Bayern Munich and Chelsea are viewed as outside contenders capable of upsetting the established favourites if form and fortune align.

However, the unpredictability of knockout football, injuries, and tough draws make betting on Champions League notoriously difficult to forecast. While Liverpool’s consistency and experience give them a slight edge, Barcelona’s resurgence and PSG’s determination to defend their title ensure an unpredictable and thrilling Champions League campaign ahead.

UEFA Champions League Betting Markets

From Champions League qualification betting to wagering on the winner of the showpiece final itself, there are plenty of available UCL markets here at Betiton. Here’s a summary of the most popular wager types and betting markets.

• Futures Betting: This requires you to bet on the outright winner of the UEFA Champions League. This can unlock highly competitive odds in some instances, depending on the timing of your bet and the number of teams that remain in contention. The quality of the competing field is also a consideration here.
• Over/Under Betting: A popular and even money match betting market, the over/under usually refers to the number of goals that will be scored in a particular game. The 2.5 goals betting line tends to see the most activity, with the 125 UCL games contested in 2022/23 producing 372 goals at a rate of 2.98 per 90.
• Both Teams to Score (BTTS): This is another even money market, in which you can use form and team analysis to bet on whether both teams will score in a particular match (or not). On average, over 50% of UCL games tend to see both competing sides score, although this percentage may dip slightly during knockout games.
• Top Scorer: When betting on the Champions League, you can also access various player props and markets. For example, you can wager on the identity of the tournament top scorer, with Man City’s Erling Haaland claiming this accolade in 2022/23. He’s also the joint-top scorer in 2023/24 at the time of writing.
• Moneyline Betting: This is the most straightforward UEFA Champions League betting line, and one that requires you to back the winner of a particular UCL game. This also unlocks wager types that can create additional value in match betting, including spread betting and multi-game parlays.

UEFA Champions League Betting Odds

Here at Betiton Canada, we allow you to toggle between three different  Champions League odds formats. You can choose how odds are presented by using the drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner of the homepage, but what do you need to know about each format?

• Decimal Odds: We use decimal odds as our default format at Betiton Canada. This features a single number to two decimal places, which relays how much you can potentially win for every $1 wagered (inclusive of your stake amount). It’s arguably the most straightforward betting odds format.
• Fractional Odds: These odds feature two numbers separated by a slash. The first tells you how much you can win in relation to the second, which is your stake amount. When calculating your winnings using fractional odds, remember that this sum will be exclusive of your stake amount.
• American Odds: American odds are defined by three-digit number accompanied by either a ‘plus’ or ‘minus’ sign. The minus indicates a betting favorite, while the accompanying number tells you much you’ll need to stake to win $100. The plus reveals a betting underdog, while the associated number relays how much you’ll win if you place a $100 wager.

*Please keep in mind that the odds might change throughout the championship!

Live Betting on the Champions League

When engaging in Champions League betting online, you’ll also find a huge selection of in-play markets here at Betiton Canada. This enables you to wager on match outcomes and various team and player props as games progress, enriching your viewing experience significantly in the process.

UEFA Champions League Betting Tips by Betiton Canada

Given the sheer range of Champions League betting markets available, it can be hard to identify the best value betting lines and make the most of your bankroll. So, here are a few of my Champions League betting tips to keep in mind.

• Study the Relevant Form: While is a fairly obvious suggestion, it’s important to identify the most relevant form and datasets when engaging in match betting. Pay particularly close attention to the home and away form of competing sides, while also analysing recent head-to-head encounters, player form, and the impact of any real-time injuries and suspensions.
• Use Odds to Calculate Implied Probability: Once you’ve conducted your own game and market analysis, use our published odds to calculate the implied probability of a particular outcome occurring. This can be done using any odds format, while it’s expressed as a percentage and may help you to identify particular value in published prices. It also helps you to set optimal stake amounts.
• Use Betting Systems and Strategies: As with all online sportsbooks, Betiton Canada applies a small commission (or ‘vigorish’) to each betting line. This creates a small edge in favour of the sportsbook, but you can help to negate this through the use of betting systems and strategies. For example, bankroll management can help to minimize losses over time, while tailoring unit bets to suit specific odds is also highly recommended.
• Create Value in Match Betting: When wagering on early and group stage UCL games that feature heavy betting favorites, consider creating value through specific wager types. Spread betting is a popular Champions League bet when looking to strategically handicap short price favorites, for example, while parlays enable you to combine a number of likely match winners in a single, higher value wager.
