The 2023–24 UEFA Champions League was the 69th season of Europe’s premier club football tournament organized by UEFA, and the 32nd season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs’ Cup to the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 2–0 in the final, which was played at the Wembley Stadium in London, England, for a record-extending 15th European Cup title, and their sixth in eleven years. As winners, Real Madrid earned the right to play against Atalanta, the winners of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League, in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup. They also qualified for the final of the brand-new 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
This was the final season with the current format of 32 teams participating in the group stage, following UEFA’s announcement of a new expanded format to be introduced for the following edition.
Manchester City were the defending champions, but were eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
