[Bender]

The rankings determine the seeding of each club in all UEFA competition draws. The further you reach in the competition, the more coefficient points you receive.

Me too. It wasn't even that long ago

[Alex]

5 Years or so wasnt it?

[danperkins]

Always found it weird the way the points are tallied.. but does show how far behind we are when just look at the names in front of us and how they've been competing in the top european tier consistently.

[Pablo]

5 Years or so wasnt it?

Yeah I think it was after the Milan Champions League final defeat, so about five years ago. Feels like five decades ago though

[dom9]

I'm surprised we're as high as 18th.

[Red_Polo]

Me too. We're ahead of City

[lickedlollipop]

[destinydude]

They take the last 5 seasons into account. And add the points up.

Yep

The club coefficient rankings are based on the results of clubs competing in the five previous seasons of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. The rankings determine the seeding of each club in all UEFA competition draws.

UEFA Champions League points system
First qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points
Second qualifying round elimination – 1 point
Group stage participation – 4 points
Group stage win – 2 points
Group stage draw – 1 point
Round of 16 participation – 4 points

Since 2009/10 clubs have been awarded an additional point if they reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals or final.

NB Points are not awarded for elimination in the third qualifying round or play-offs, since those clubs move to the UEFA Europa League and are awarded points for participation in that competition.


UEFA Europa League points system
First qualifying round elimination – 0.25 points
Second qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points
Third qualifying round elimination – 1 point
Play-off elimination – 1.5 points
Group stage win – 2 points
Group stage draw – 1 point

Since 2009/10, clubs have been guaranteed a minimum of two points if they reach the group stage and are awarded an additional point if they get to the quarter-finals, semi-finals or final.

*Penalty shoot-outs do not affect the calculation system.

Coefficient calculation
Clubs' coefficients are determined by the sum of all points won in the previous five years, plus 20% of the association coefficient over the same period (33% before 2009).

These rankings will be updated after each round of UEFA club competition matches.
