The European Cup group game is divided into six groups, each group has four teams, each team plays a game with the other three teams in the same group, winning 3 points, drawing 1 point, losing 0 point. After the group game, the top two teams of each group will go straight to the top 16. In addition, there are four best and third teams that can also qualify and enter the last 16. The four best and third place teams are determined according to the following criteria:
- Group game points
