UEFA Women's Champions LeagueAbout the Tournament

The UEFA Women's Champions League is the premier club competition in European women's soccer. Organised by UEFA, it brings together the leading clubs from across Europe, with the winners crowned European champions.

From the 2025/26 season the competition uses a league phase. Eighteen clubs play six matches each against different opponents in a single combined table, earning three points for a win and one for a draw. The top four clubs advance directly to the quarter-finals, while the clubs ranked fifth to twelfth enter a knockout play-off round for the remaining four places.

Qualifying rounds earlier in the season decide which clubs join the league phase. The knockout stage is played over two legs until the single-match final, hosted at a venue selected by UEFA.
