2009–10 UEFA Champions League group stage
The 2009–10 UEFA Champions League group stage matches took place between 15 September and 9 December 2009. The draw for the eight groups took place on 27 August 2009, at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

The group stage features the 22 automatic qualifiers and the 10 winners of the play-off round (five through the Champions Path, five through the Non-Champions Path).
At the completion of the group stage, the top two teams in each group will advance to play in the first knockout round, while the third-placed teams will drop down to the UEFA Europa League round of 32.
Seedings
The draw for the group stage was held in Monaco on 27 August 2009.
Seeding was determined by the UEFA coefficients:[1] Pot 1 held teams ranked 1–8, Pot 2 held teams ranked 10–28, Pot 3 held teams ranked 34–64, while Pot 4 held teams ranked 97–190 and unranked teams.
Clubs from the same association were paired up to split the matchdays between Tuesday and Wednesday. Clubs with the same pairing letter played on different days, ensuring that teams from the same city (e.g. Milan and Inter Milan, who also share a stadium) did not play on the same day.[2]
