Here's when the 2025 Champions League quarterfinals are set to unfold:
The full schedule for the quarterfinals will be revealed on Mar. 13.
The 2025 Champions League quarterfinals feature four matches played across two legs. Once again, the team with the highest aggregate score at the end of the second leg will advance to the next round of the competition.
If the aggregate score is tied, extra time and possible even a penalty shootout will determine which club advances to the semifinals.
Yellow card suspensions are also still in play throughout the quarterfinals. If a player receives their third or fifth yellow card of the tournament, then they must serve a one-match suspension. Yellow cards do not reset until the conclusion of the quarterfinals.
