All times are CET (UTC+1).[3]

Round and draw dates

The playoffs were drawn on 10 October 2014 in Helsinki, Finland and the entire playoff bracket was determined in the draw.[2]

Format

The eleven group winners and the five best group runners-up qualified for the playoffs, which will begin on 4 November 2014 and end with the final on 3 February 2015. It will be played as a single-elimination tournament, meaning that the losing teams in each round are eliminated from the tournament. The teams will play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis with the team with the better standing after the group stage having the second game at home, except for the one-match final played at the venue of the team with the best competition track record leading up to the final.[1]

If the aggregate score after the two legs are equal the match will be decided in 10-minute overtime. If no goals were scored during overtime, the tie will be decided by penalty shootout. In the final, which was played as a single match, if scores are level at the end of normal time, there will be 20 minutes of overtime, followed by penalty shoot-out if scores remained tied.[1]

The mechanism of the draw for playoffs was as follows:

  • The entire playoff was drawn at a single occasion on 10 October 2014 to determine the eight pairings for the eighth-finals. After this draw, all games up to the final are set in brackets.[1][2]
  • In the draw for the eighth-finals, the eight best group winners were seeded, and the three group winners with worst record and the five best runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group could not be drawn against each other.[4]

Qualified teams

Eleven group winners and eight runners-up enter the playoffs and the eight group winners with the best group stage record were seeded in the eighth-finals. From quarter-finals and onwards there were no seeding.[2][4]

The table is ordered by seeding order for the draw which is group position followed by points and goal differential.
