2024-25 UWCL Rounds 1 and 2

[ General Information: Main | Assoc Rank | Club Rank | Calculation | Archive ] [ 2024-25: Entry | Rds 1 & 2 | Group Stage | Knockout | Assoc Coeffs | Money ]

The 2024-25 UEFA Women's Champions League consists of three phases: qualifying rounds, a group stage, and the knockout round. Four teams have automatic berths to the group stage: the champions of the top three association (France - Lyon, Germany - Bayern Munich, Spain - Barcelona), plus the defending champions. Since the defending champions (Barcelona) already received a group stage bid, the fourth bid passes to the champions of the fourth-ranked association (England - Chelsea). The other twelve spots in the group stage are determined by two qualifying rounds.

There are two branches for rounds one and two: the Champions' Path, awarding seven berths among the approximately 47 other national champions; and the League Path, awarding five berths to second and third-place teams from the top 16 nations.

Entry points for teams are indicated by this chart:

Since the defending champion already has a berth in the group stage, England's champion moves into the Group Stage, and Czechia's champion moves into the second round.

Champions' Path

Round 1

Round 1 consists of four-team mini-tournaments held at a single site. The entrants are seeded based on their 2024 team coefficient, with the top 22 being seeded and the remainder unseeded. Eleven groups will be drawn, each with two seeded teams and two unseeded teams. As there are only 43 entrants, one groups will contain only one unseeded team.
For each group with four teams, there are two semifinals (each featuring a seeded team and an unseeded team), a third-place game, and a final. Only the winning team advances to Round 2, and all other teams' European seasons are over. In the group with three teams, the highest-ranked seeded team gets a bye to the final, while the other two teams play the semifinal.
