Champions League Table, Fixtures and Results
ScoresLive updates the Champions League standings after every match, so the single league phase table is always current. Alongside it you get the full fixtures list for every matchday, results with final scores from every tie already played, and the qualification picture as clubs chase a place in the knockout rounds. Whether you look up the league phase table, this week's fixtures or last night's results, the numbers on ScoresLive come from the same live feed, refreshed second by second.
How the Champions League Works
The revamped format uses a single league phase of 36 clubs, each playing eight matches against eight different opponents in one combined table. The top eight advance directly to the last 16, the clubs placed ninth to twenty fourth contest a knockout playoff round for the remaining places, and the rest are eliminated. From the last 16 it becomes a two legged knockout up to the single match final at a neutral venue in late May or early June.

The South Africa Connection
Benni McCarthy remains the standout, a South African with a Champions League winner's medal from Porto's 2004 triumph. Beyond that single golden night, the tournament matters in South Africa because so many fans grew up supporting Europe's giants, and because it is the stage local talent dreams of reaching. That ambition starts at home, where clubs in the Betway Premiership chase CAF continental football, and ScoresLive lets you follow both the European and African routes on one platform.
Champions League Betting Markets Guide
Match Result (1X2)
The 1X2 market on each Champions League tie is where most South African bettors start. ScoresLive shows odds from several licensed bookmakers on every fixture so you can compare prices instantly. Hollywoodbets, Betway and Sportingbet price up each match, and comparing the best return in rand before kickoff is the simplest way to add value to a home, draw or away pick.
Outright Winner
The outright market lets you back a club to lift the trophy across the whole season. Prices shorten and lengthen as the league phase and knockout rounds play out, so it pays to keep an eye on the odds. Easybet, Sportingbet and Sunbet all offer outright Champions League prices, and ScoresLive helps you track form and results before you commit in rand.
Goalscorer Markets
Anytime scorer, first scorer and last scorer are available on every Champions League match across the licensed bookmakers. Player form and recent goals appear on the match detail page on ScoresLive to help you choose, and prices from Hollywoodbets, Betway and Sunbet are worth comparing before kickoff.
