Liga Campionilor este principala competitie europeana inter cluburi unde participa cele mai bune cluburi de fotbal din Europa.
In Liga Campionilor se califica 32 de echipe, 22 de echipe se califica direct in cadrul grupelor Ligii Campionilor iar 10 echipe se alatura celor 22 dupa ce au trecut de fazele de calificare. In cadrul Ligii Campionilor campionatele puternice (Primera Division din Spania, Premier League din Anglia, Bundesliga din Germania etc) au mai multe reprezentante decat campionatele mai slab cotate precum Liga 1 din Romania care are doar o reprezentanta care se califica direct in faza grupelor.
Pentru a sporii numarul de telespectatori la finala Ligii Campionilor s-a introdus regula ca aceasta se va desfasura intotdeauna sambata si nu miercurea cum era pana in anul 2009.
Dintre echipele romanesti Steaua Bucuresti este echipa care a avut cele mai multe rezultate, reusind in 1986 sa castige Cupa Campionilor Europeni cand a castigat cu scorul de 2-0 impotriva echipei Fc Barcelona, eroul acelei intalniri a fost portarul Helmuth Duckadam care a reusit sa apere 4 penalty-uri.
Meciurile din cadrul Liga Campionilor vor fi transmise la televizor de postul TVR1.
