The2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League was the 22nd edition of the European women's clubfootball championship organised byUEFA, and the 14th edition since being rebranded as theUEFA Women's Champions League. It was the second edition to feature a 16-team group stage.^[2]

Thefinal was held at thePhilips Stadion inEindhoven, Netherlands. The winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League automatically qualified for the2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage.

Lyon were the defending champions, having won arecord-extending eighth title after winning the2022 final. They were unable to defend their title after being defeated byChelsea in the quarter-finals.

Barcelona won their second title by defeatingVfL Wolfsburg 3–2 in thefinal.^[3]

The association ranking based on theUEFA women's Association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:^[4][5]

• Associations 1–6 each had three teams qualify.
• Associations 7–16 each had two teams qualify.
• All other associations (except Russia),^{[Note RUS]} if they entered, each have one team qualify.
• The winners of the2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League were given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League through their domestic league.

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).

For the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2021UEFA Women's Association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2016–2017 to 2020–2021.^[6]

In theknockout phase, teams played against each other overtwo legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

• In the draw for the quarter-finals, the four group winners were seeded, and the four group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, and the seeded teams hosted the second leg. Teams from the same group could not be drawn against each other.
• A draw was also held to determine which semi-final winner was designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it was played at a neutral venue).
