Champions League Outrights Betting

The Champions League remains Europe’s most prestigious club competition, showcasing elite teams from across the continent. For the 2025/26 campaign, 36 clubs will compete in the Swiss-style league format once again, after it was introduced last year. Of these, 29 clubs qualify automatically based on domestic league performance, while the remaining seven secure their spots through qualifying rounds. 

At BetVictor, we offer a broad selection of Champions League betting options, from outright winners to individual match odds. Whether you’re looking to bet during the qualification rounds, group stages, or beyond, our football betting hub has something for every fan. 

What Are The Champions League Outright Betting Markets? 

BetVictor provides a comprehensive range of Champions League betting markets, especially on outright selections. Some of the most popular include: 

Champions League Winner  

The most straightforward bet, choose the team you think will win the tournament. You can place this bet at any point, even before the main competition gets underway, when the odds will be more generous. But remember, odds will change as the tournament progresses. 

Champions League Each-Way Betting 

With each-way betting at BetVictor, your outright stake is split into two. If the team you select makes the final but fails to win, you’ll still get paid at half the winning odds. 

For example, a £10.00 each-way bet on Real Madrid at 7.00 would return £35.00 if they finish second, based on a £5.00 stake at half the odds of 3.50. 

Name the Finalists 

This is another relatively straightforward type of bet and involves picking the two teams that will reach the final, regardless of which one runs out as the winner. Naming the finalists is a hard bet to predict early in the competition, but bigger odds will be available, reducing as the tournament advances. 

Top Scorer 

Every forward dreams of being the top scorer in Europe’s leading club competition, and this makes the Champions League Golden Boot a coveted accolade. You are simply betting on which player will score the most goals in the competition.  

Match Winner Markets 

Throughout the tournament, from qualifying onwards, you will be able to bet on individual matches. As well as being able to bet on the result, there are other markets contained within each match market, such as correct score, over/under goals, yellow cards and more. 

Champions League Recent Winners 

Paris Saint-Germain enter the 2025/26 Champions League as the reigning champions after they won the competition for the first time last season. 

As things stand, Real Madrid remain the tournament’s most successful outfit with 15 titles to their name, followed by AC Milan (7), Bayern Munich (6) and Liverpool (6).

Who Are The Favourites To Win The Champions League In 2025/26? 

Liverpool 

Liverpool have been installed as one of the early favourites to win the Champions League, and for good reason. While they didn’t even make the final last season, the Reds did win the Premier League under Arne Slot in his first campaign as manager. What additionally strengthens their chances is the work they’ve already completed in the transfer market, with money being splashed on the likes of Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Floria Wirtz, and Hugo Etikike. Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah also agreed to contract extensions. 

Paris Saint-Germain 

Paris Saint-Germain are the current holders of the Champions League. They finally won the tournament after years of trying, and a lot of money spent. While being the defending champions automatically means they’re a team expected to do well, it’s how they won it last season that caught the eye. Under manager Lusi Enrique, PSG have gone from focusing on mega stars to being a great unit, and it worked, as they brushed aside top competition. They’ll be out to do exactly the same in 2025/26. 

Barcelona 

Barcelona underwent a revival last season under the guidance of manager Hansi Flick. They ended the campaign as La Liga champions, and now the aim will be to rise to the summit of European football once again. Barca have already been hard at work in the transfer market, adding strength in depth, as seen by Marcus Rashford’s arrival on loan from Manchester United. That extra depth may be just what they need to go further in the Champions League this season than they did last. With their attacking unit, you wouldn’t write them off. 

Real Madrid 

The most successful team in Champions League history returns this season with a new manager in the dugout. Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti as manager in the summer, and the former Real Madrid star will be keen to show he can deliver success on all fronts, including in the Champions League. He has a squad full of stars to choose from, which makes Los Blancos a threat to any team they come up against. Their front three is as good as any in the world.
