1999–2000 UEFA Champions League group stage
The 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League group stage matches took place between 14 September and 3 November 1999. The draw for the group stage was made in August 1999.
The group stage featured the 16 automatic qualifiers and the 16 winners of the third qualifying round. Each team was drawn into one of eight groups but avoided teams from their own country. All four teams in the group played home and away matches against each other to determine the winner and runner-up in the group.
At the completion of the group stage, the top two teams in each group advanced to play in a second group stage, while the third-placed teams dropped down to the UEFA Cup.
Seeding structure
Seeding was determined by the UEFA coefficients. Clubs from the same association were paired up to split the matchdays between Tuesday and Wednesday. Clubs with the same pairing letter would play on different days, ensuring that teams from the same city did not play on the same day.| Key to colours in group tables |
