For the first time, five Premier League teams will qualify for the Champions League through their league position. More could join them by winning a UEFA competition.
There will be 36 teams in the Champions League from 2024-25, an increase of four. The tournament structure is changing to a ‘Swiss model’ league.
The two best performing countries in Europe get extra Champions League spots. England has a good chance of earning a fifth spot.
Eight Premier League teams are playing in Europe this season, which could help England’s coefficient ranking.
Theoretically seven Premier League teams could reach the Champions League. Five qualify through league position, plus the Champions League and Europa League winners if they finish outside the top five.
Up to 11 English teams could play in Europe overall next season - seven in the Champions League, three in the Europa League, one in the Europa Conference League.

Reminds me of Brazilian Seria A, where place 14 plays International and place 17 gets relegated.
