Notes

Teams

Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association enters a team, and so the exact number of teams in each round can not be determined until the full entry list is known.

The following list the teams that qualified and might enter this season's competition. Here CH denotes the national champion, RU the national runner-up. Entries from 49 associations are possible. Two associations have no current league (Liechtenstein, San Marino). Gibraltar's and Andorra's is not played eleven-a-side. Armenia, Georgia and Luxembourg have a regular league but have not registered a team in the past seasons. After many years with only youth leagues, Azerbaijan again organises a women's league 2016/17.
