Association team allocation

A maximum of 68 teams from 55 UEFA member associations may participate in the 2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA league coefficient for women is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1–12 each have two teams qualify.
  • All other associations, should they enter, each have one team qualify.
  • The winners of the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League are given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league.

Association ranking

For the 2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2016 UEFA league coefficients for women, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2011–12 to 2015–16.

Teams

Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association enters a team, and so the exact number of teams in each round can not be determined until the full entry list is known.

The following list the teams that qualified and might enter this season's competition. Here CH denotes the national champion, RU the national runner-up. Entries from 49 associations are possible. Two associations have no current league (Liechtenstein, San Marino). Gibraltar's and Andorra's is not played eleven-a-side. Armenia, Georgia and Luxembourg have a regular league but have not registered a team in the past seasons. After many years with only youth leagues, Azerbaijan again organises a women's league 2016/17.
