The 2025–26 UEFA Champions League will feature six Premier League teams—five that qualify through the league table and one of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur via the Europa League final.

The top-five teams in the Premier League, plus the winner of the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, will qualify directly. Champions Liverpool and runners-up Arsenal have already booked their spot, as Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest battle for the remaining places.

Manchester City need four points from their final two matches to secure UEFA Champions League qualification. Three of those against Bournemouth would give Kevin De Bruyne a fitting Etihad Stadium farewell.

Ten teams qualifying for Europe next season is still possible. The top-five teams in the table will play in the 2024-25 Champions League, and another will qualify for that competition when Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur win the Europa League Final.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri made a surprise return to the squad to play Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday after eight months out of action due to a knee ligament injury.

Kevin De Bruyne said goodbye, Man City fans said hello and welcome back to Rodri, and Pep Guardiola's side is one result away from Champions League qualification.
