The final was held at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.
Barcelona were the defending champions and defended their title with a 2–0 win over Lyon in home-country venues.[2]
The association ranking based on the UEFA women's country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[3][4]
An association must have an eleven-a-side women's domestic league to enter a team. As of 2022–23, 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations organized 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).
For the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2022 UEFA women's Association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2017–18 to 2021–22.[5]
