UEFA has revealed a fresh visual identity for the Champions League, marking the start of the 2024-2027 cycle. The new Champions League visuals also bring us an updated intro.
UEFA updates the tournament's visuals every three years, with the last update introduced in 2021 and used until 2024. The new visuals will be used from 2024 until 2027.
2024-2025 UEFA Champions League Intro
The new UEFA Champions League 2024 intro retains the iconic elements we know from the previous intros, mainly the stadium imagery that fans associate with the UEFA Champions League.
The most notable change to the new UEFA Champions League branding is the color scheme. The previous palette of navy blue with a lot of purple and pink accents has been 'enhanced' by multicolor 'rainbow' detailing, while the overall look is darker and more classic again, bringing back the 2000s vibes.
Other changes have been made to the adboards [ditching the Champions League all-over logos] plus some other, more minor elements.
