2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League

The 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League was the 22nd edition of the European women's club football championship organised by UEFA, and the 14th edition since being rebranded as the UEFA Women's Champions League. It was the second edition to feature a 16-team group stage.

The final was held at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League automatically qualiied for the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage.

Lyon were the defending champions, having won a record-extending eighth title after winning the 2022 final. They were unable to defend their title after being defeated by Chelsea in the quarter-finals.

Barcelona won their second title by defeating VfL Wolfsburg 3–2 in the final.

Association team allocation
The association ranking based on the UEFA women's Association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
 * Associations 1–6 each had three teams qualify.
 * Associations 7–16 each had two teams qualify.
 * All other associations (except Russia), if they entered, each have one team qualify.
 * The winners of the 2021–22 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).

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

Group stage
The draw was held 3 October 2022 and saw the 16 teams split into four pools of four teams.

Knockout phase
In the knockout phase, teams played against each other over two 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).
