The 2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying rounds began on 17 August and ended on 9 September 2021.[1]
A total of 68 teams competed in the group stage qualifying rounds of the 2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League, which includes two rounds, with 46 teams in the Champions Path and 22 teams in the League Path. The 12 winners in the round 2 (seven from Champions Path, five from League Path) advanced to the group stage, to join the four teams that entered in that round.[2]
Times are CEST (UTC+2), as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
Teams

Format
Round 1 consisted of mini-tournaments with two semi-finals, a final and a third-place play-off hosted by one of the participating teams. If the score was level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, and if the same number of goals were scored by both teams during extra time, the tie was decided by a penalty shoot-out. Round 2 was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advance to the next round. If the aggregate score was level at the end of normal time of the second leg, the away goals rule was no longer applied starting from this season.[4] To decide the winner of the tie, extra time was played, and if the same number of goals were scored by both teams at the end of normal time, the tie was decided by a penalty shoot-out. An additional preliminary round consisting of two-legged home-and-away matches would have been played by the champions from the lowest-ranked associations if more than 50 associations had entered the tournament and the title holders hadn't qualified through league position. Since only 50 associations entered, this round was skipped.
In the draws for each round, teams were seeded based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots containing the same number of teams. Prior to the draws, UEFA may form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, but they are purely for convenience of the draw and do not resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition. Teams from associations with political conflicts as decided by UEFA may not be drawn into the same tie. After the draws, the order of legs of a tie could have been reversed by UEFA due to scheduling or venue conflicts.
Schedule
The schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).[1]
Round | Draw date | First leg | Second leg |
---|---|---|---|
Round 1 | 2 July 2021 | 17–18 August 2021 (semi-finals) | 20–21 August 2021 (third-place play-off & final) |
Round 2 | 22 August 2021 | 31 August – 1 September 2021 | 8–9 September 2021 |
Round 1
The draw for Round 1 was held on 2 July 2021, 13:00 CEST.[5] The hosts of each tournament were selected after the draw. The semi-finals were played on 17 and 18 August, and the third-place play-offs and finals on 20 and 21 August 2021. The winners of the finals advanced to round 2.
Seeding
A total of 59 teams played in Round 1. They were divided into two paths:
- Champions Path (43 teams): 43 teams which entered in this round.
- League Path (16 teams): 16 teams which entered in this round.
Seeding of teams for the semi-final round was based on their 2021 UEFA club coefficients,[3] with 22 seeded teams and 21 unseeded teams in the Champions Path, and 8 seeded teams and 8 unseeded teams in the League Path. Teams were drawn into two semi-finals within each four team group and, for the group with three teams, the team with the highest coefficient was given a bye to the final. In the semi-finals, seeded teams would be considered the "home" team for administrative purposes, while in the third-place play-offs and finals, the teams with the highest coefficients would be considered the "home" team for administrative purposes. Due to political reasons, teams from the following associations could not be drawn into the same group: Kosovo / Bosnia and Herzegovina; Kosovo / Serbia; Kosovo / Russia; Ukraine / Russia.
