    • Unseeded: five winners of the third qualifying round (Champions Path).
  • Main Path (34 teams): five teams which entered in this round, 27 winners of the third qualifying round (Main Path), and two losers of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round (Main Path). Seeding of teams was based on their 2022 UEFA club coefficients.[3] For the winners of the third qualifying round and losers of the Europa League third qualifying round, whose identity was not known at the time of draw, the club coefficient of the highest-ranked remaining team in each tie was used. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.

Prior to the draw, UEFA formed four groups in the Main Path, three of four seeded teams and four unseeded teams, and one of five seeded teams and five unseeded teams, in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee. In the Main Path, numbers were pre-assigned for each team by UEFA, with the draw held in two runs, one for Groups 1–3 with eight teams and one for Group 4 with ten teams. The first team drawn in each tie was the home team of the first leg.
