Group stage
The draw for the group stage was held on 6 September 2015, 11:00, in Luso, Portugal. The 16 teams were allocated into four pots, with the title holders Barcelona being automatically placed in pot 1. Liceo La Coruña, Benfica and Forte dei Marmi were the other three seeded teams.[2] The remaining teams were then drawn into four groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. In each group, teams play against each other in a home-and-away round-robin format, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout stage.[3]
