The 2030–31 UEFA Champions League was the 76th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 39th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.

Association team allocation
A total of 79 teams from 54 of the 55 UEFA member associations participate in the 2030–31 UEFA Champions League (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league). The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:


 * Associations 1–4 each have four teams qualify.
 * Associations 5–6 each have three teams qualify.
 * Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify.
 * Associations 16–55 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.
 * The winners of the 2029–30 UEFA Champions League and 2029–30 UEFA Europa League are each given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2030–31 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league.
