History and Format
The UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) has undergone a massive transformation since its inception in 2001 as the UEFA Women’s Cup. Originally a knockout-based tournament for domestic champions, it was rebranded in the 2009/10 season to include runners-up from the top-ranked nations and shifted to a single-match final. Since then, the competition has been dominated by powerhouses like Olympique Lyonnais, who hold a record eight titles, and more recently, teams like Barcelona and Arsenal. To mirror the growth of the women’s game, UEFA has consistently expanded the field, moving from early mini-tournaments to a formal 16-team group stage in 2021, and now to its most ambitious format yet.
Starting with the 2025/26 season, the competition has adopted a “Swiss-style” league phase, mirroring the changes made to the men’s tournament. The traditional four-team groups have been replaced by a single 18-team league table. In this new format, each club plays six matches against six different opponents—three at home and three away—determined by seeding pots. This overhaul is designed to ensure more “big-on-big” matchups earlier in the competition while providing smaller clubs more opportunities to face a variety of European elite.
The path to the trophy in 2026 is more rigorous than ever. At the conclusion of the league phase, the top four teams in the standings earn a direct ticket to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the teams finishing between 5th and 12th place must compete in a two-legged knockout phase play-off to secure their spot in the final eight. From the quarterfinals onward, the tournament maintains its traditional home-and-away knockout format, culminating in a prestigious one-off final. For the 2025/26 edition, the road ends at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway, in May 2026.
