What is Kings of Europe?

Kings of Europe is a free draft game built around one idea: only winners. The player pool is made up entirely of squads that lifted the European Cup or the Champions League, from Real Madrid in 1956 to the most recent winners.

Each spin of the wheel lands on one winning squad from one specific season. You pick a single player from it, slot them into your formation, and spin again. Di Stéfano next to Maldini, Cruyff behind van Basten, Messi feeding Puskás. Eleven picks later, you have your team.

Then the real test starts. Your XI plays a full modern European campaign: eight league-phase matches, the knockout rounds, and the final. A perfect run is fifteen wins from fifteen games. Almost nobody manages it.

The whole thing exists for arguments. Was the 1994 Milan defence better than the 2011 Barcelona midfield? Draft them both and find out.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kings of Europe?

A free, unofficial draft game. You build a starting XI by spinning a wheel that lands on European Cup and Champions League winning squads, then simulate a full European campaign with the team you drafted.

Which teams and players are included?

All 71 title-winning squads, from the 1955-56 European Cup to PSG's win in the 2025-26 Champions League. That is more than 1,000 players. For the older squads we focus on the first XI plus the key squad members, because that is what the historical record supports.

How do the player ratings work?

They are editorial. We rated every player for how good they were in that specific winning season, on a single scale across all eras. You will disagree with some of them. That is half the fun.

Why fifteen games?

The campaign uses the modern Swiss format. Eight league-phase matches, then the round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final over two legs, and the final. Finish in the top eight of the league phase and you skip the knockout play-off, so a perfect campaign is fifteen wins. Finish ninth or lower and you have two extra play-off matches to deal with.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no payment, nothing to install. Your best runs are saved on your own device.

What do the difficulty levels change?

Easy gives you three rerolls of the wheel, Normal gives you one, and Hard gives you none and hides all player ratings while you draft, so you pick on reputation alone.

Is this affiliated with UEFA or any club?

No. Kings of Europe is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to UEFA, any club, league or governing body. Club and player names are used in a historical, editorial sense only, and no official logos, crests or player images appear anywhere in the game.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, the whole game is built for mobile as well as desktop. You can also share your final XI as an image straight from the results screen.

Can you go fifteen for fifteen?
