What is the new format for UEFA women's club competitions, introduced in 2025/26?
The introduction of the Women's Europa Cup as a second European women's club competition, to run in parallel with the Women's Champions League, gives more teams the chance to test themselves against continental opposition.
It also gives some teams eliminated in the Women's Champions League qualifying rounds another chance at glory.
The Women's Europa Cup is played across six rounds of two-legged knockout ties, with each opponent hosting a leg.
A new format for the Women's Champions League was also launched in 2025/26, with an expanded 18-team league phase replacing the previous group stage, and the introduction of a knockout phase play-off round to complete the quarter-final line-up.
