If the UEFA Women’s Champions League titleholder qualifies for the league phase of the competition through its domestic championship, the vacancy created in the league phase is filled as follows:

a. by the UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder; or

b. if the UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder has also qualified for the league phase of the competition through its domestic championship, by the domestic champion with the highest individual club coefficient of all the clubs that qualify for the second qualifying round of the champions path.

If the UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder qualifies for the league phase of the competition through its domestic championship or due to taking the vacancy created by the situation above, the vacancy created in the third qualifying round of the champions path is filled by the domestic champion with the highest individual club coefficient of all the clubs that qualify for the second qualifying round of the champions path. If the UEFA Women’s Champions League titleholder also qualifies for the league phase of the competition through its domestic championship, the vacancy in the league phase is filled first before the vacancy in the third qualifying round.

If the UEFA Women's Champions League and/or UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder qualifies for the second qualifying round of the champions path through its domestic championship, or if rebalancing under the above two situations creates any vacancy or vacancies in the second qualifying round, each vacancy is filled in turn by the club with the highest individual club coefficient of all the clubs remaining in the first qualifying round of the champions path.

If the UEFA Women's Champions League and/or UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder qualifies for the first qualifying round of the champions path through its domestic championship, or if rebalancing the champions path as outlined above leaves a vacancy in the first qualifying round, the vacancy will not be filled and mini-tournaments may be played with three teams, with a single semi-final and one team qualifying automatically for the final.

If the UEFA Women's Champions League and/or UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder qualifies for the third qualifying round of the league path through its domestic championship, the vacancy is filled by the club with the highest individual club coefficient of all the clubs in the second qualifying round of the league path, provided that this club is also the highest ranked domestically of all the clubs from that same association in the second qualifying round of the league path. If the club with the highest individual club coefficient is not also the highest ranked domestically, then the position moves to the club with the next highest individual club coefficient that meets the condition of also being the highest ranked domestically.

If the UEFA Women's Champions League and/or UEFA Women's Europa Cup titleholder qualifies for the second qualifying round of the league path through its domestic championship, or if rebalancing the league path as outlined above leaves a vacancy in the second qualifying round, the vacancy will not be filled and mini-tournaments may be played with three teams, with a single semi-final and one team qualifying automatically for the final.
