The 2024–25 UEFA Women's Champions League was the 24th edition of the European women's club football championship organised by UEFA, and the 16th edition since being rebranded as the UEFA Women's Champions League. It was the final edition to feature a 16-team group stage. The winners automatically qualified for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League league phase, the 2026 FIFA Women's Champions Cup semi-finals and the 2028 FIFA Women's Club World Cup.
The final was held at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, Portugal. Arsenal won the match 1–0 against defending champions Barcelona for their second UEFA Women's Cup/Champions League title, and their first in 18 years.
Association team allocation The association ranking based on UEFA women's country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: Associations 1–6 each had three teams qualify. Associations 7–16 each had two teams qualify. All other associations, if they entered, each had one team qualify. The winners of the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League were given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2024–25 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league.
An association had to have an eleven-a-side women's domestic league to enter a team. As of 2019–20, 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations organized 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 For the 2024–25 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2023 UEFA women's Association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2018–19 to 2022–23.
