The system is anticipated to include as many as seven English teams across the three continental competitions.
These seven Premier League teams, which finished in the top seven of last season's standings, including Manchester United, are poised for substantial financial rewards even before the competitions begin.

How much Premier League teams will earn from Europe
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s side are on the chase for a second UCL title and will be looking for a dominant run through the competition. If they win every match in the Champions League, they could potentially earn between £140 million and £145mil.
Even before the competition starts, they are set to receive £53 million from the new financial package.
Liverpool
Winning every group fixture for Arne Slot’s side could result in rewards of approximately £140m to £145m.
However, before the competition kicks off, Liverpool is also set to earn £51m.
Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s side will receive the same reward if they secure victory in all their group phase games. However, according to data from the UK Sun, they are set to earn financial rewards of approximately £46m even before the competition begins.
Aston Villa
The returning former champions are set for a substantial payday. In addition to the fixed income from winning their group stage fixtures, Unai Emery’s side will receive a participation fee of £33m.
In the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are each expected to earn around £12m.
Chelsea, competing in the Conference League, is projected to receive approximately £5m.
The new automated Champions League group stage draw will take place at 5 p.m. on Thursday at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The draws for the Europa League and Conference League will follow the next day, at 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., respectively.
