2011–12 UEFA Champions League qualifying was the preliminary phase of the2011–12 UEFA Champions League, prior to the competition proper. Qualification consisted of the qualifying phase (first to third rounds) and the play-off round.
All times areCEST (UTC+02:00).
All draws held at UEFA headquarters inNyon,Switzerland.[1]
| Round | Draw date | First leg | Second leg |
|---|---|---|---|
| First qualifying round | 20 June 2011[2] | 28–29 June 2011 | 5–6 July 2011 |
| Second qualifying round | 12–13 July 2011 | 19–20 July 2011 | |
| Third qualifying round | 15 July 2011[3] | 26–27 July 2011 | 2–3 August 2011 |
| Play-off round | 5 August 2011[4] | 16–17 August 2011 | 23–24 August 2011 |
There are two routes which the teams are separated into during qualifying:
Each tie is played overtwo legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that has the higher aggregate score over the two legs progresses to the next round. In the event that aggregate scores finish level, theaway goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs progresses. If away goals are also equal, then 30 minutes ofextra time are played, divided into two 15-minute halves. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e. if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team qualifies by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided bypenalty shoot-out.[5]
In the draw for each round, teams are seeded based on their 2011UEFA club coefficients,[6] with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots. A seeded team is drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided randomly. Due to the limited time between matches, the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds take place before the results of the previous round are known. The seeding in each draw is carried out under the assumption that all of the highest-ranked clubs of the previous round are victorious. If a lower-ranked club is victorious, it simply takes the place of its defeated opponent in the next round. Prior to the draw, UEFA may form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, but they are purely for convenience of the draw and do not resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition, while ensuring that teams from the same association are not drawn against each other.
Below are the 54 teams (39 in Champions Route, 15 in League Route) involved in the qualifying phase and play-off round, grouped by their starting rounds.[7] The 10 winners of the play-off round (5 in Champions Route, 5 in League Route) qualify for thegroup stage to join the 22 automatic qualifiers. The losing teams from thethird qualifying round and theplay-off round enter theEuropa League play-off round andgroup stage respectively.
