21 clubs registered for EHF Champions League Women 2023/24

The registered teams have been divided in three categories: teams from countries with a fixed place in the EHF Champions League; requests for an additional place from nations with at least one team in the competition; and requests for an upgrade from the EHF European League from countries without a place in the EHF Champions League.

Nine registered teams have a fixed place, with seven more seeking a spot as an additional place or an upgrade.

The fixed place for Russia is vacant since the country and its clubs are currently not admitted to participate in the EHF competitions.

The playing system in the upcoming season remains unchanged and the group phase of the EHF Champions League 2023/24 will consist of two groups with eight teams each.

In the next steps, the evaluation group will prepare recommendations on Monday 19 June, with the final line-up for the new season to be announced by Wednesday 21 June. The draw for the group phase is scheduled for Tuesday 27 June in Vienna.
