UEFA Women's Champions League second qualifying round ties

The UEFA Women's Champions League second qualifying round is played as a series of knockout mini-tournaments run from 4 to 8 August.

A total of 44 teams are involved at this stage, with five to be decided when the first qualifying round concludes on Saturday 25 July. The ties are already set, with the likes of four-time champions Eintracht Frankfurt and former quarter-finalists Ajax and Juventus among those starting their campaigns in the second qualifying round.

The 11 second qualifying round final winners advance to the third qualifying round, in which seven teams enter automatically. The winners of the nine third qualifying round ties will join the nine clubs directly qualified for the league phase.

Meanwhile, the teams finishing as runners-up and in third place in each of the second qualifying mini-tournaments will transfer to the UEFA Women's Europa Cup. The third-placed teams will enter the Women's Europa Cup in the first qualifying round, and the beaten finalists in the second qualifying round.
