2020–21 UEFA Women's Champions League#Qualifying round

The association ranking based on the UEFA women's country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web|url=https://documents.uefa.com/r/UEFA-Women-s-Champions-League-2020/21-Online|title=Regulations of the UEFA Women's Champions League, 2020/21|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=24 September 2020}}

• Associations 1–12 each had two teams qualify.
• All other associations , if they have entered, each had one team qualify.
• The winners of the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League were given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2020–21 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league. However, the title holders had qualified through their domestic league, meaning the additional entry was not necessary for this season.

An association must have had an eleven-a-side women's domestic league to enter a team. In 2019–20, 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations organized a women's domestic league, with the exceptions being Andorra, Liechtenstein and San Marino.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/FirstDiv/uefaorg/Publications/02/62/00/57/2620057_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Women's first division clubs in Europe 2019/20|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations}}

For the 2020–21 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2019 UEFA women's country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2014–15 to 2018–19.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/womenscountry/#/yr/2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181030202925/https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/womenscountry/#/yr/2019 |url-status=dead |archive-date=30 October 2018 |title=Women's association club coefficients 2018/19 |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=1 October 2019 |access-date=1 October 2019}} For the first time there were two entries for the Netherlands and Kazakhstan.

;Notes

• NR – No rank (association did not enter in any of the seasons used for computing coefficients)
• DNE – Did not enter
• NL – No women's domestic league

Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association entered a team, and so the exact number of teams entering in the qualifying rounds (played as two rounds of single-legged ties for this season) and knockout phase (starting from the round of 32, played as home-and-away two-legged ties except for the one-match final) could not be determined until the full entry list was known. In general, the title holders, the champions of the top 12 associations, and the runners-up of highest-ranked associations (exact number depending on the number of entries) received a bye to the round of 32. All other teams (runners-up of lowest-ranked associations and champions of associations starting from 13th) entered the qualifying round, with the group winners and a maximum of two best runners-up advancing to the round of 32.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/62/57/92/2625792_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=2020/21 provisional access list|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations}}

The schedule of the competition was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland). The tournament would have originally started in August 2020, but was initially delayed to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. However, due to the continuing pandemic in Europe, UEFA announced a new format and schedule on 16 September 2020. Instead of mini-tournaments, the qualifying rounds were played as two rounds of single leg knockout matches.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0261-1063a06eeb9c-9390be7aacac-1000--uefa-women-s-futsal-and-youth-competitions-postponed-to-novembe/|title=UEFA women's, futsal and youth competitions postponed to November|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=16 September 2020}}

The original schedule of the competition, as planned before the pandemic, and the schedule announced in June 2020, under the original format, was as follows.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the following special rules were applicable to the competition:{{cite web|url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0261-10734164b164-3bb6fe3c3839-1000/annex_f_-_special_rules_due_to_covid-19_applicable_to_the_qualifiyng_rounds_and_round_of_32_en.pdf|title=Annex F – Special rules due to COVID-19 applicable to the qualifying rounds and round of 32|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=24 September 2020}}

• If there were travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented the away team from entering the home team's country or returning to their own country, the match could be played at a neutral country or the away team's country that allowed the match to take place.
• If a team refused to play or was considered responsible for a match not taking place, they were considered to have forfeited the match. If both teams refused to play or were considered responsible for a match not taking place, both teams were disqualified.
• If a team had players and/or officials tested positive for SARS-2 coronavirus preventing them from playing the match before the deadline set by UEFA, they were considered to have forfeited the match.

On 24 September 2020, UEFA announced that five substitutions would be permitted, with a sixth allowed in extra time. However, each team was only given three opportunities to make substitutions during matches, with a fourth opportunity in extra time, excluding substitutions made at half-time, before the start of extra time and at half-time in extra time. Consequently, a maximum of twelve players could be listed on the substitute bench.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0261-107376966207-6a2ea096698b-1000/ |title=Two triple-headers approved for 2021 March and September national team windows |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=24 September 2020 |access-date=24 September 2020}}
