From UEFA

How will the calendar look for the new format of the three competitions?

The Champions League and Europa League matches will be played between September and January, while the Europa Conference League matches will be played between September and December. Each of the three UEFA club competitions will have one exclusive matchweek, with the other two competitions not being scheduled in this week.

In standard weeks, Champions League matches will be played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, while Europa League and Europa Conference League matches will be contested on Thursdays. In the Champions League exclusive week, Champions League matches will be played on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. In the Europa League exclusive week, Europa League matches will be held on Wednesday and Thursday. In the Europa Conference League exclusive week, Europa Conference League matches will take place on Thursday.

For the last matchday of each of the competitions' league phases, all games will be played simultaneously."

So just ONE round with separate matchweeks.

Strewth. If it takes this much effort to explain the changes then logic dictates that they are not entirely necessary!!
