2016–17 UEFA Youth League
Tournament details
Dates13 September 2016 – 24 April 2017
Teams64 (from Minimum of 33 associations)

The 2016–17 UEFA Youth League will be the fourth season of the UEFA Youth League, a European youth club football competition organised by UEFA.

Chelsea are the title holders after winning the previous two editions. However, since the UEFA Youth League title holders do not get an automatic qualifying place, and both the Chelsea senior team failed to qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League and the Chelsea academy team failed to win the 2015–16 Professional U18 Development League 1, they will not be participating in this tournament to defend their title.

Teams

A total of 64 teams from a minimum of 32 of the 54 UEFA member associations enter the tournament. They are split into two sections:[1]

  • The youth teams of the 32 clubs which qualified for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage enter the UEFA Champions League Path.
  • The youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations according to their 2015 UEFA country coefficients enter the Domestic Champions Path (associations without a youth domestic champion as well as domestic champions already included in the UEFA Champions League path are replaced by the next association in the UEFA ranking).[2][3]
