UEFA Women’s Champions League

The UEFA Women's Champions League third qualifying round ties on 25/26 August and 1/2 September will decide the last nine league phase berths.

The contests include four-time winners Eintracht Frankfurt facing Paris Saint-Germain in a rematch of the 2015 final, and dual champions Wolfsburg up against Inter. Another former runner-up, Chelsea, will take on Real Sociedad, while Ajax will face Real Madrid, who hope to keep up their record of getting past qualifying in all six seasons since the introduction of the former group stage.

In this round, the 11 second qualifying round final winners are joined by the seven teams entering automatically. The winners of the nine third qualifying round ties will join the nine clubs directly qualified for the league phase. The nine defeated teams will transfer to the UEFA Women's Europa Cup second qualifying round.

Which clubs are already in the league phase?

England: Manchester City, Arsenal

France: OL Lyonnes, Paris FC

Spain: Barcelona (holders)
