The 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League league phase began on 7 October 2025 and ended on 17 December 2025. A total of 18 teams are competing in the league phase to decide the 12 places in the knockout phase of the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League.
Format[]
Each team will play six matches, three at home and three away, against six different opponents, with all teams ranked in a single league table (known as the Swiss system). Teams were separated into three pots based on their 2025 UEFA club coefficients, and each team will play two teams from each of the three pots – one at home and one away. The top four teams in the standings will receive a bye to the quarter-finals. The teams ranked from 5th to 8th will contest the knockout phase play-offs, with the teams ranked from 9th to 12th. Teams ranked from 13th to 18th are eliminated.
Tiebreakers[]
Teams will be ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points upon completion of the league phase, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine their rankings:
While the league phase is in progress, teams are ranked according to criteria 1–5 only, and if still tied, are given equal ranking and sorted alphabetically. Criteria 6–10 are only used after the final matches have taken place.
- Goal difference;
- Goals scored;
- Away goals scored;
- Wins;
- Away wins;
- Higher number of points obtained collectively by league phase opponents;
- Superior collective goal difference of league phase opponents;
- Higher number of goals scored collectively by league phase opponents;
- Lower disciplinary points total (direct red card or expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point);
- UEFA club coefficient.
