The Unify League, a rebranded version of the European Super League, is a proposed football competition aiming to challenge UEFA's Champions League. Unlike the widely panned Super League, which would have seen 12 breakaway rebels — including the Premier League's Big Six — guaranteed entry, all positions will be earned by domestic performances in the previous campaign.
The Unify League would consist of 96 teams from across Europe taking part each year. Qualification would be similar to the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. A NEW version of the European Super League has been proposed - now branded as the Unify League. Here's all you need to know about how it works...
Who plays in it?. The proposed competition would see 96 teams from across Europe taking part each year. All positions will be earned by performances in domestic competitions the previous campaign - just as it currently is with the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
What's the format?. There would be FOUR leagues: Star League, Gold League, Blue League and Union League. The top two divisions, Star and Gold, would each have 16 teams in them, split into two groups of eight. The groups of eight would play each other home and away, a total of 14 matches per club each season.
