The bracket is set for the UEFA Women's Europa Cup knockout phase from the round of 16 to the two-legged final.

Among those who earned their places by coming through September's second qualifying round are last season's inaugural runners-up Hammarby, former European champions Eintracht Frankurt and Wolfsburg and four teams in their debut UEFA competition season: Fenerbahçe, Feyenoord, Malmö and Torreense. Spartak Myjava are the first Slovakian club to play in the last 16 of a UEFA women's competition.
