All winners are guaranteed a slot in the champions league tournament. It starts off with a 3 round knockout phase than the group stage and the knock out stages again to determine the champions. If you are wondering about who gets into the group stages it is top 2 in england, Spain and Italy. 1 for Germany, France, Holland, Portugal, and a couple of other countries that escape my mind at the moment. For the entire tournament it is 4 for england, spain, italy. 3 for france, portugal, and germany. 2 for Holland, Russia, Ukraine, Scotland, Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, Belguim, and Austria

Here is a link that explains the format completely. To tell you who gets their teams into the champion's league is impossible as there are qualifying rounds and some countries all teams leave before the qualifying rounds are done. I will give you each nation and its theoretical max but remember through pre qualifying only 32 teams make it to the group stage and in Parentheses are each countries automatic bids to the group stage. If no parentheses no automatic bid into the group stage

Italy (2), England (2), and Spain (2) get 4

Portugal(2), Germany(2), and France(2) get 3

Dutch(1), Greece(1), Belgium(1), Scotland, Czech Republic, Austria, Ukraine get 2 teams each

All other members get one participant
Israel, Serbia Montenegro, Poland, Switzerland, Norway, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Hungry, Romania, get their one team in the second pre qualifying round

The rest of the countries get their champion in the first qualifying round these include:

Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Latvia, Finland, Moldova, Georgia, Lithuania, Iceland, F.Y.R. Macedonia, Republic of Ireland, Belarus, Armenia, Malta, Albania, Estonia, Northern Ireland, Wales, Luxemburg, Azerbaijan, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan

The UEFA Champions league is open to the league champions of all UEFA member associations (except Liechtenstein, which has no league competition), as well as to the clubs finishing from second to fourth position in the strongest leagues. Since January 2007 the two lowest-ranked league competitions (currently the Andorra and San Marino leagues) can also represent their domestic champions in the Champions League.

The number of places in the competition depends on the association's rank in the UEFA coefficients table:

associations ranked 1 to 3 have four positions,
associations ranked 4 to 6 have three positions,
associations ranked 7 to 15 have two positions,
associations ranked 16 or lower have one position.
An association's rank also determines the stage at which the clubs enter the competition. For example, the three highest-ranked associations have two places in the group stage (for champions and runners-up) and two in the third qualifying round (for third and fourth-placed teams), whereas the lowest-ranked associations have only one place in the first qualifying round for their champions. Nine highest-ranked associations have at least one automatic place in the group stage.

An additional place in the group stage is reserved for the title-holders, in case they don't qualify via their domestic league. However, an association is limited to sending at most four clubs for a season. This means that if the title-holders come from a league given four positions, but finish out of the top four, it will take the place of the fourth placed team. The fourth placed team will go to the UEFA Cup.

In addition to sporting criteria, any club must be licensed by its national association to participate in the Champions league. To obtain a license, club must meet certain stadium, infrastructure and finance requirements.

There was controversy when Liverpool won the competition in 2004/2005, but finished outside the top four in the Premiership. The Football Association ruled that Everton F.C. (who finished fourth) would get the final spot. However, UEFA came to an agreement that both Merseyside rivals would be allowed to enter the competition with Liverpool starting from the first qualifying round and Everton starting from the third qualifying round. Liverpool became the first team to negotiate all three rounds of qualification and reach the Champions League group phase, a feat matched by Artmedia Bratislava of Slovakia in the same season. Liverpool went on to become the first team to reach the knockout phase from the first qualifying round.

FC Barcelona, Manchester United and FC Porto are the teams that have appeared most often in the group stages: twelve each. However, each has won the Champions League only once since the group stage was established.
