The 2025–26 UEFA Women's Europa Cup will be the inaugural season of the UEFA Women's Europa Cup, Europe's secondary women's club football tournament organised by UEFA. The competition will feature a straight knockout format, with every round, up to and including the final, played as a two-legged home-and-away tie.
Association team allocation
The association ranking based on the UEFA women's country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
- Associations 8–13 and 18–24 each have one team qualify directly.
- 31 teams eliminated from the 2025–26 Women's Champions League will be transferred to the Europa Cup.
An association must have an eleven-a-side women's domestic league to enter a team. As of 2019–20, 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations organize a women's domestic league, with the exceptions being Andorra (1 club in Spain), Liechtenstein (3 clubs in Switzerland) and San Marino (1 club in Italy).
Association ranking
For the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Europa Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 2024 UEFA women's Association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2019–20 to 2023–24.
