The twelve participating teams are placed into three groups of four clubs each. The teams of each group face each other home and away. The group winners and runners-up qualify for the quarter-finals, along with the two best third placed teams. As opposed to the previous edition of the tournament, the knock-out stages are played as single legs. In the quarter-final draw, teams from the same group or the same country are, as far as possible, not paired together.
Prize money for the tournament are paid like this:
- Qualification for the tournament itself: 1,000,000 DKK
- Qualification for the quarter finals,
- through the first place of the group: 600,000 DKK
- through the second place of the group: 300,000 DKK
- through the third place of the group: 150,000 DKK (no bonus is given for third-place finishers that do not qualify)
- Match bonuses
- Group phase victory: 125,000 DKK
- Group phase draw: 62,500 DKK
- Quarter-final victory: 350,000 DKK
- Semi-final victory: 400,000 DKK
- Final victory (Royal League champion): 2,000,000 DKK
- Final loss (Royal League runner-up): 500,000 DKK
Spectator bonuses
Another potential 8 million DKK are up for grabs through two separate spectator bonuses:[1]
Bonus no. 1 pays a maximum of 6.3 million DKK total, based on the average home attendance in the Royal League compared against the clubs' average attendance in their respective league:
- An average of more than 60% pays 525,000 DKK
- More than 55% pays 450,000 DKK
- More than 50% pays 375,000 DKK
- More than 45% pays 225,000 DKK
- More than 40% pays 150,000 DKK
- More than 35% pays 75,000 DKK
Bonus no. 2 distributes 1.7 million DKK between clubs in relation to a club's average home attendance in the Royal League. A certain average gives a certain amount of shares:
- An average of more than 5,000 spectators gives the club 4 shares out of the 1.7 million total
- More than 6,000 spectators gives 8 shares
- More than 7,000 spectators gives 12 shares
- More than 8,000 spectators gives 16 shares
- More than 9,000 spectators gives 20 shares
- More than 10,000 spectators gives 24 shares
After the tournament, the money will be distributed in relation to how many shares the different clubs have.
