Champions League Quiz: what it is
Europe's elite club competition attracts the same famous clubs year after year, but every season also brings champions from smaller leagues, surprise qualifiers and debutants who play six games and go home. This Footbillion quiz rewards fans who remember those visitors as well as the regulars.
There are two kinds of prompt. One asks for any club that played in the group stage, or the league phase from 2024/25, in a given season. The other asks for a club that reached the knockout rounds that season, from the last 16 onward. Both lists come straight from match records.
Footbillion is a free daily football quiz where every correct name has a price. This page is Footbillion Unlimited filtered to one topic: the Champions League set currently holds 20 prompts in the Footbillion bank, each with its full list of valid answers. Play as many rounds as you like; your daily Footbillion streak is not affected.
How the Champions League quiz works
Choose the UCL topic and press play for seven Footbillion prompts from the seasons in our data. Type a club and pick it from the suggestions. English names and local names both work, so Bayern, Bayern Munich and Bayern München all point to the same club. Three tries and a 45-second clock apply to every prompt.
Values depend on how often a club appears in the competition and in domestic top flights. A club that qualified only once is worth far more than a regular quarter-finalist.
Tips for rare Champions League answers
- Look east and north. Champions of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Cyprus, Azerbaijan or Scandinavia are classic deep cuts.
- Remember the pot four sides. Group stage prompts always have a few clubs who were drawn into a group of death.
- Knockout lists are shorter. Sixteen clubs make it, so the familiar names are cheap; look for the surprise last-16 side.
Why Footbillion works for European nights
Most people remember the finals. Fewer remember who finished third in a group in a wet November. By putting a price on every participant, Footbillion turns those half-memories into points. It also makes a nice companion to the Premier League quiz if you follow both domestic and European football.
