Women's Champions League quarter-finals and knockout phase play-offs: Who has qualified?

The first five teams have confirmed their progress from the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Women's Champions League.

Barcelona, Wolfsburg, Manchester United and Bayern München have joined OL Lyonnes in being confirmed in the quarter-finals or knockout phase play-offs.

In all, after the league phase ends on Wednesday 17 December, 12 teams will advance from the league phase – four directly to the quarter-finals and the rest to the knockout phase play-offs. The draw to set the knockout bracket will be held on Thursday 18 December.

This is the first Women's Champions League season under the new league phase format. The top four sides in the league phase will qualify automatically for the quarter-finals, while the teams finishing in fifth to 12th place will compete in a two-legged knockout phase play-off to secure their path to the last eight. Teams ranked 13 to 18 will be eliminated.

Standings are provisional until all league phase matches have been played and officially validated by UEFA. Confirmations of qualification / elimination are based on the provisional standings and are therefore for guidance purposes only until all league phase matches are completed and final standings have been validated by UEFA.
