2022-23 UEFA Women's Champions League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League is the 22nd edition of the European women's club football championship organised by UEFA, and the 14th edition since being rebranded as the UEFA Women's Champions League. It is the second edition to feature a 16-team group stage.

The final will be held at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League will automatically qualify for the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage.

Association team allocation[edit]
The association ranking based on the UEFA women's Association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:


 * Associations 1–6 each have three teams qualify.
 * Associations 7–16 each have two teams qualify.
 * All other associations (except Russia), if they entered, each have one team qualify.
 * The winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League are given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league.

An association must have an eleven-a-side women's domestic league to enter a team. As of 2019–20, 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations organize a women's domestic league, with the exceptions being Andorra (1 club in Spain), Liechtenstein (3 clubs in Switzerland) and San Marino (1 club in Italy).

Association ranking[edit]
For the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2021 UEFA Women's Association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2016–2017 to 2020–2021.


 * Notes


 * NR – No rank (association did not enter in any of the seasons used for computing coefficients)
 * DNE – Did not enter
