Several times I get information from the facebook homepage which sometimes appears, the information I get is about the new format changes that will be implemented in the 2024/2025 season, and it looks like this is official from UEFA which previously I thought was just a hoax or something like that. The first change is about increasing the number of contestants, from 32 to 36 and for the second change is not using the group stage. But they're going to have a competition format or something like what might be called a mini league or something like that, I haven't looked further either. Regarding this, I personally just hope that whatever format is used, at least the competition to enter the Champions League does not make it easy, because if it is made easy, the competition for Champions League tickets will no longer be competitive and exciting.
It doesn't matter if the format of the Champions League will change again in the future, but of course I will convey the same hope because when it gets easier this competition is no longer interesting. I haven't found any news about the changes or plans yet, but maybe we'll find out soon enough when the rules are official.
Champion league is for real champions and of the change in the format will result in making the UEFA Champions League less competitive then I would find the new format not welcome by football fans, but am well aware of how knowledgeable the organizers are so whatever format their introduce it can only make the competition more competitive than ever.1
