Bodø/Glimt is set to face football giants Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid.

In addition to these high-profile matches, Bodø/Glimt's schedule includes games against Borussia Dortmund, Club Brugge, Lille, Napoli, LASK, and Lens.

Viking FK also faces a demanding path, with matches scheduled against Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid. Their opponents also include Aston Villa, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, Stuttgart, and the team that eliminated Norwegian club Molde, Sabah.

Teams will face two opponents from each of the four seeding pots.
