Association team allocation

A maximum of 68 teams from 55 UEFA member associations were eligible to participate in the 2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA league coefficient for women is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/46/07/00/2460700_DOWNLOAD.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729183332/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/46/07/00/2460700_DOWNLOAD.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 July 2017|title=Regulations of the UEFA Women's Champions League 2017/18|publisher=UEFA|date=4 April 2017}}

  • Associations 1–12 each have two teams qualify.
  • All other associations, should they enter, each have one team qualify.
  • The winners of the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League are given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league. Since the title holders Lyon qualified through their domestic league, the additional entry for the Champions League title holders was not necessary for this season.

=Association ranking=

For the 2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2016 UEFA league coefficients for women, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2011–12 to 2015–16.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/43/21/51/2432151_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=2017/18 association coefficient rankings|publisher=UEFA}}

=Distribution=

The format of the competition remained unchanged from previous years, starting from the qualifying round (played as mini-tournaments with four teams in each group), followed by the knockout phase starting from the round of 32 (played as home-and-away two-legged ties except for the one-match final).

Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association enters a team, and so the exact number of teams entering in each round (qualifying round and round of 32) can not be determined until the full entry list is known. In general, the title holders, the champions of the top 12 associations, plus the runners-up of highest-ranked associations (exact number depending on the number of entries) receive a bye to the round of 32. All other teams (runners-up of lowest-ranked associations plus champions of associations starting from 13th) enter the qualifying round, with the group winners plus a maximum of two best runners-up advancing to the round of 32.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/43/21/52/2432152_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=2017/18 provisional access list|publisher=UEFA}}

=Teams=

A record total of 61 teams from 49 associations entered this season's competition.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/023a-0e168b4856bb-1096f867d807-1000--women-s-champions-league-entries-confirmed/|title=Women's Champions League entries confirmed|publisher=UEFA|date=14 June 2017}} Two associations had no league as of 2016–17 (Liechtenstein, San Marino). Andorra's league was not played eleven-a-side. The champions of Armenia (Yerevan LH), Azerbaijan (Gabala) and Gibraltar (Lincoln Red Imps) did not enter. Georgia entered a team for the first time since 2010–11, while Luxembourg returned after a one-year absence.

Among the entrants, 21 teams entered the round of 32: the champions and runners-up from associations 1–9 (including title holders Lyon) and the champions from associations 10–12. The remaining 40 teams entered the qualifying round: the runners-up from associations 10–12 and the champions from the 37 associations ranked 13 or lower.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/47/78/60/2477860_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Access List for the UEFA Women's Champions League 2017/18|publisher=UEFA}}

Qualifying round

{{main|2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round}}

The draw of the qualifying round was held on 23 June 2017, 13:30 CEST, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/season=2018/draws/round=2000907/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628004047/http://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/season=2018/draws/round=2000907/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 June 2017|title=Qualifying group stage draw|publisher=UEFA|access-date=23 June 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/023a-0e168c7cf2c5-b5b4d7c57dd1-1000--women-s-champions-league-qualifying-round-draw/|title=Women's Champions League qualifying round draw|date=23 June 2017|publisher=UEFA}} The 40 teams were allocated into four seeding positions based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Draws/02/47/78/71/2477871_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=UEFA WOMEN'S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2017/18 Club Coefficients|publisher=UEFA}} They were drawn into ten groups of four containing one team from each of the four seeding positions. First, the ten teams which were pre-selected as hosts were drawn from their own designated pot and allocated to their respective group as per their seeding positions. Next, the remaining 30 teams were drawn from their respective pot which were allocated according to their seeding positions.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/023a-0e168b4856bb-1096f867d807-1000--women-s-champions-league-entries-confirmed/|title=Women's Champions League entries confirmed|publisher=UEFA|date=14 June 2017}}

In each group, teams played against each other in a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts. The ten group winners and the runners-up with the best record against the teams finishing first and third in their group advanced to the round of 32 to join the 21 teams which received a bye.

The matches were played on 22, 25 and 28 August 2017.

Tiebreakers
Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
  8. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  9. UEFA club coefficient.

To determine the best runner-up, the results against the teams in fourth place were discarded. The following criteria were applied (Regulations Article 14.03):

  1. Points;
  2. Goal difference;
  3. Goals scored;
  4. Disciplinary points;

=Ranking of second-placed teams=

To determine the best second-placed team from the qualifying round which advanced to the knockout phase, only the results of the second-placed teams against the first and third-placed teams in their group were taken into account, while results against the fourth-placed team were not included. As a result, two matches played by each second-placed team counted for the purposes of determining the ranking.
