The registered teams have been divided in two categories: teams from countries with a fixed place in the EHF Champions League and requests for an additional place from nations with at least one team in the competition or for an upgrade from the EHF European League from countries without a place in the EHF Champions League.
A total of 10 registered teams have a fixed place provided that all the respective requirements are fulfilled by these clubs as outlined by the competition's regulations.
10 more clubs are seeking a spot as an additional place or an upgrade. All four of this year's EHF FINAL4 participants - Barça, Paris Saint-Germain Handball, SC Magdeburg and Barlinek Industria Kielce - are among the teams with guaranteed spots.
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.
