InEuropean football, theUEFA coefficients are statistics based inweighted arithmetic means used for ranking andseeding teams in club and international competitions. Introduced in 1979 for men's football tournaments (country rankings only),[1][2] and after applied in women'sfootball andfutsal, thecoefficients are calculated byUEFA, who administer football withinEurope, and theAsian parts of sometranscontinental countries.
The confederation publishes three types of rankings: one analysing a single season, a five-year span, and a ten-year span. For men's competitions, three sets of coefficients are calculated:
The association coefficient is used to rank the football associations of Europe, and thus determine the number of clubs from an association that will participate in theUEFA Champions League, theUEFA Europa League and theUEFA Conference League.
The UEFA ranking determines the number of teams competing in the season after the next, not in the first season after the publication of the ranking. Thus, the rankings at the end of the 2022–23 season determine the team allocation by association in the 2024–25 (not 2023–24) UEFA season. This is unrelated to the selection of teams which will fill each allocation through the individual association leagues and national cups (which is decided in the preceding season).
This coefficient is determined by the results of the clubs of the associations in theUEFA Champions League,UEFA Europa League and theUEFA Conference League games over the past five seasons. Two points are awarded for each win by a club, and one for a draw (points are halved in the qualifying rounds). Results determined by extra time do count in determining the allocation of points, but results determined bypenalty shootouts do not affect the allocation of points, other than for bonus points given for qualification into the latter rounds. The number of points awarded each season is divided by the number of teams that participated for that association in that season. This number is calculated to three decimal places then truncated (e.g.2+2⁄3 would be truncated to 2.666).[4][5]
To determine an association's coefficient for a particular season, the coefficients for the last five seasons are added. Bonus points are added to the number of points scored in a season. Bonus points are allocated for:[6]

UEFA uses this coefficient system to decide which teams gain automatic entry to the league phase and which teams must go through qualifying. For instance, the teams who occupy the top four league places in the associations ranked 1 to 4 in UEFA competition, the top three teams of the association ranked 5, the top two teams of the association ranked 6, and the champions in the associations ranked 7 to 10 gain automatic entry into the league phase for the following season's Champions League competition.
The ranking below takes into account of each association's performance in European competitions from 2021–22 to 2025–26, with the 2025–26 season underway. The final ranking at the end of the 2025–26 season will be used to determine the minimum number of places for each association in the 2027–28 UEFA club competitions.
The two highest annual coefficients from the 2023–24 season and onward are used to determine two additional European Performance Spots (one per association) in the Champions League for the next season. These associations are highlighted inbold; prior to the 2023–24 season only the leading association was highlighted.
As of 6 November 2025, the coefficients are as follows:[8]

Notes
According to the UEFA regulations a National League needs to consist of at least eight clubs to be considered valid, otherwise no participants of such a league will be allowed to enter European competitions.
The following is the default access list for the 2024–25 and future seasons.[15] Rankings in table exclude Liechtenstein which receives one Europa or Conference League qualifying berth, depending on their ranking, for their cup winner.

Following the introduction of theUEFA Cup in 1971, the competition began to grow in complexity, with more clubs than either the European Champions Cup or the Cup Winners' Cup, reaching up to four from a single country. UEFA began to publish association rankings in 1979,[1][2] to identify the number of participants from each association in the UEFA Cup.
Subsequently, for statistical purposes, various rankings were introduced to portray the history of the associations. According to theprorated (extended) calculation system, only four associations have ever been ranked as the top European association.[1]
Following theHeysel Stadium disaster, all English teams were banned from UEFA competitions in 1985. The ban was only lifted after five seasons, with the knock-on effects continuing to impact on English football for a total of nine years from 1986 to 1994.[16] Having been top in 1985, England were unranked in 1990[17] and would not regain the top position until 2008.[18]
The following data indicates the three top-ranked associations in each five-year period.[1] Data prior to 1975–1979 period has been calculated, but precedes the first published by the Confederation and has merely informative value.[1] Note that the table take into account the results from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which was a non-UEFA competition that took place until 1971, whose teams in the first editions were representing cities instead of clubs.

Introduced first in 1990[21] with various calculation principles applied throughout the years,[22] currently the club coefficient is either the sum of the points earned by the club in theUEFA Champions League,UEFA Europa League andUEFA Conference League over the previous five seasons or 20% of the club's association coefficient over the same period, whichever coefficient is higher.[23] This ranking is used byUEFA to determine a club's seeding in club competition draws, including the qualifying and group stages of theFIFA Club World Cup,UEFA Champions League,UEFA Europa League,UEFA Conference League.
The clubs receive two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a defeat in games of the main stages of theChampions League,Europa League andConference League. Results determined after extra-time are included in this method, however results determined after penalty shoot-outs are not (the result is considered a draw). Bonus points for entering the Europa League or Conference League group stage / league phase are not additional to win/draw points; they provide a minimum points allowance for participating clubs, whereas bonus points for entering the Champions League group stage / league phase (and those for qualifying to the knockout stage) are additional to win/draw points.
Qualifying round results are only taken into account if the club is eliminated in one of the rounds (see table below). Otherwise, the qualifying round results are taken into account only for the calculation of the association's coefficient and are halved.[24] The clubs do not receive any points for elimination in theChampions League orEuropa League qualifying because those clubs move to the Europa League and/or Conference League and receive points from participation in that competition.[25][26]
The ranking below takes into account of each club's performance in European competitions from 2021–22 to 2025–26, with the 2025–26 season currently taking place.
The top 25 clubs as of 6 November 2025 are as follows.[27]

Prior to the 2018 club rankings, teams received the sum of their points earned over the last five seasonsplus 20% of the club's association coefficient.[24][25]
Before 1999 a number of strong teams in the UEFA Cup were seeded such that those teams did not meet in the first two rounds. To determine these teams, the sum of the ratio of the number of points achieved to the number of games played by each team, was calculated for the past five seasons.[citation needed]
The following data indicate the top-ranked clubs in each 5-year period.[1] Data prior to 1975–1979 period has been calculated, but precedes the first published by the Confederation and has merely informative value.[1]

A club's five-season coefficient is the cumulative total of its five-season coefficients from the reference period and 20% of its association's five-season association's coefficient.[29] This ranking is used by UEFA to determine a club's seeding in club competition draws, including the qualifying and group stages of the UEFA Women's Champions League.
The distribution of points is symmetrical to the distribution of points in association ranking.
The ranking below takes into account of each team's performance in European competitions from 2021–22 to 2025–26, with the 2025–26 season currently taking place.

UEFA calculates coefficients for each association that takes part in theUEFA Regions' Cup. These coefficients are calculated to compile ranking lists that are used to determine the round in which each team enters the competition and to seed the teams for the draws. The coefficient ranking list is established for the preliminary and intermediate round draws on the basis of the associations’ results in the three most recent completed seasons at the time of the draws. For the 2024–25 competition, the coefficient ranking list is therefore based on the associations' results in the seasons 2016–17, 2018–19 and 2022–23.[32]
As of 27 July 2023 the coefficients are as follows:[33]

Since2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup qualification, the UEFA coefficients are based on theElo rating system and are constantly updated to all non-friendly matches.[34] This ranking is used to seed national teams on UEFA competitions and to decide the number of clubs from an association that will participate in theUEFA Futsal Champions League.The rating below is the situation after theUEFA Futsal Euro 2022 qualifications have been played:

|
|
The coefficients from 2020 used for the seeding and pot placements in the draw forUEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2022, were based on results on2019 edition.[35]
|
|
The club coefficient, used to determine seeds and entrance round on the UEFA Futsal Champions League, is the sum of the points earned by the club in that competition on the previous three seasons and 50% of the club's association coefficient over the same period. The association coefficient is the sum of the points earned by all the clubs of the association. Even though all calculation procedures are public for association and club coefficients, UEFA only publishes the coefficients of the clubs competing in the next season of UEFA Futsal Champions League.[36]
| Round | Points awarded |
|---|---|
| Win in preliminary round | 1 |
| Draw in preliminary round | 0.5 |
| Win in main or subsequent round | 2 |
| Draw in main or subsequent round | 1 |
| Main round participation | 1 |

The UEFA coefficient system has been criticised for being likely to preserve the status quo for rankings and seedings, as well as for favouring teams from stronger leagues.[38]
