Pots[]
Due to a scheduling conflict caused by the 2022 Winter Olympics final qualification tournament being held on 26–29 August 2021, eight teams from countries participating in the Olympic qualification (Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Poland, Ukraine) will be allocated into the pot 5 and drawn into two separate groups of four which will not play their games on the specified dates. There will be no league protection for the teams from these two groups. The other 24 teams (from five remaining founding leagues as well as teams from Belarus and Great Britain as top two challenger leagues and 2019–20 IIHF Continental Cup winners SønderjyskE Ishockey) will be allocated into four pots and drawn by the standard procedure into six groups of four.[7][10]

As a rule, the first leg will be hosted by the team who has the inferior record in the tournament with the second leg being played on the home ice of the other team. If aggregate score is tied, a sudden death overtime will follow. If the overtime is scoreless, the team who wins the shoot out competition advances.
The final will be played on the home ice of the team who has the better record in the tournament.
Bracket[]
The eight group winners and the eight second-placed teams advanced to the round of 16. The teams were divided into two seeding groups and group winners were randomly drawn against runners-up. Teams who had faced each other in the group stage could not be drawn against each other in the round of 16.
