Draw

edit

The draw for the group phase took place in Rome on 19 October 2020.[1]

LEN decided to play the 10 match-days of the 2020–21 LEN Champions League preliminary round in bubble format in three rounds, using two venues at each occasion. The ten match-days will be played in three rounds at two venues each time.

Teams of the same group will contest three match-days, one time four, where the participants will be isolated for the entire duration of event because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Groups

edit

The matchdays were 3 phase. The first phase of matches were played between 14 and 17 December, the second were played between 1–5 March 2021, the third were played between 19 and 22 April 2021. The matches in the Group B were started one day later.
