Champions League Knockout Round Schedule, Kickoff Times

The Knockout Rounds in both the Champions and Europa Leagues work almost completely the same way, with two main differences: The UCL starts with 16 teams compared to 32 in the UEL. And in the Champions League, the group winners all host the second legs; in the Europa League, with teams entering the competition from the UCL, the team with the higher UEFA club coefficient hosts the second leg.

The Champions League round of 16 will be played over the next month. The matchups will be two legs, with group runners-up hosting Leg 1 and group winners hosting Leg 2. The first legs begin Tuesday and run through next week, and the second legs begin March 10. Here is the complete schedule for the round of 16:
