Football clubs participating in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League submitted their senior squads to Uefa by the deadline on Wednesday. Teams must manage two distinct lists, with List A capped at 25 players and requiring a minimum of eight locally trained members. Failure to meet the homegrown quota results in a proportional reduction of the total squad limit. List B is reserved for younger players and remains open until the day before a match. Clubs are permitted to register up to three new players when the knockout stages begin in February 2027. Under specific conditions, temporary replacements for injured or ill players may be allowed during the league phase.
- •List A squads are capped at 25 players with an eight-player homegrown minimum.
- •List B permits unlimited registrations for junior players born on or after 1 January 2005.
- •Clubs can register three new players starting February 2027 for the knockout rounds.
- •Injury-related replacements are permitted under strict conditions up to matchday six.
