The group stage of the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League began on 16 September 1998 and ended on 9 December 1998. Eight teams qualified automatically for the group stage, while 16 more qualified via a preliminary round. The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four, and the teams in each group played against each other on a home-and-away basis, meaning that each team played a total of six group matches. For each win, teams were awarded three points, with one point awarded for each draw.

Seeding[]

Seeding was based on the UEFA associations 1998 raking,[1] similarly to the previous season.[2] Title holders and champions of nations ranked 1–5 were put in the Pot 1. Champions of nations ranked 6–7 as well as runners-up of nations ranked 1–5 (except France) formed Pot 2. The remaining qualified runners-up (from the nations 6–8) and champions of top three nations ranked below 7 formed Pot 3. Finally, the remaining six national champions formed Pot 4.
