The top teams in each league from the year before qualify. It is one of the most watched and followed sports events in the world viewed by over 100 million people.

Each year the teams that finish at the bottom of the league are "relegated" to the next lower league, while the best teams from the lower leagues move up. Most countries have several tiers of leagues allowing even small clubs to move up to the top league if they are good enough.
Here is a listing of the top European football clubs and their teams:
