The format for the Women’s Champions League and its qualifying rounds is a little complicated, so here we go.
Four teams — Lyon, Chelsea, Wolfsburg, Barcelona — are already guaranteed their spots in the group stage proper.
The remaining 12 teams must progress through the qualifying rounds. Nine clubs, including Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will enter the second round of qualifying.
Round One of qualifying features champions from 42 European leagues and a further 15 teams who qualified through their league standings in 2021/22.
They have been drawn into mini-tournaments, with the winners of a semi-final and the final of each tournament progressing to Round Two.
Semi-finals to take place 18 August, finals to take place 21 August. Selected teams in bold.
