Round and draw dates

The schedule of the competition was as follows.

Draw

The draw was held on 12 July 2019 at the Mediapro Auditorium in Barcelona.
The 24 teams were drawn into four groups of six, with the restriction that teams from the same league could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into six pots, in accordance with the Club Ranking, based on their performance in European competitions during a three-year period and the lowest possible position that any club from that league can occupy in the draw is calculated by adding the results of the worst performing team from each league.

;Notes
The fixtures were decided after the draw, using a computer draw not shown to public, with the following match sequence:
Note: Positions for scheduling do not use the seeding pots, e.g., Team 1 is not necessarily the team from Pot 1 in the draw.

There were scheduling restrictions: for example, teams from the same city in general are not scheduled to play at home on the same round.
