The 16 teams are confirmed to participate in the 23rd edition Women’s Champions League group stages as they fight to lift the prestigious title at the end in the final hosted at San Mames in Bilbao, Spain in May 2024. The clubs have been divided into four groups with only competition winners from last season, Barcelona and league champions from France, Germany and England getting direct berths to this stage. The Catalan giants also won the Spanish league so the automatic spot went to WSL winners, Chelsea. The rest of the 12 teams took the qualification route to make the main competition. The group stage games of the 2023/24 Women’s Champions League will start on 14 November 2023 with the last round of fixtures scheduled in January-February 2024.
Group A will have the holders Barcelona taking on Eintracht Frankfurt from Germany, FC Rosengard of Sweden and Portugal’s SL Benfica, facing them for back-to-back seasons. Record winners Lyon are placed in Group B paired with Czechia side Slavia Prague, Norway’s SK Brann and St Polten from Austria. Group C could possibly turn out to be a ‘group of death’ with champions of Italy in Roma and Germany in Bayern Munich clashing against each other. Winners of the Dutch league, Ajax and competition regulars Paris-Saint Germain, who beat Manchester United in the qualifiers, are the other opponents in the group. Chelsea taking on Real Madrid will be the high voltage clash in Group D clubbed with BK Hacken from Sweden and giant-killers in beating last season’s semi-finalists Arsenal and finalists Wolfsburg in the qualifiers, Paris FC.
