The draw for the first and second qualifying rounds of the Women's Champions League season 2025/2026 will take place on June 24. This is where the next European campaign will begin.

For the first time in history, three clubs will represent Ukraine in women's European competitions. The champion (Vorskla) and the silver medalist of the national championship (Metalist 1925) will participate in the Women's Champions League, starting their journey from the second qualifying round scheduled for August 27-30. Each team will compete in different sections (for champions and league representatives). The stage will take place in a mini-tournament format (semifinals, final, and third-place match), with group compositions to be determined on June 24. To advance to the Champions League group stage, teams must not only pass the second round but also the third qualifying round (play-off).

The third Ukrainian team (Kolos) will participate in a newly formed tournament — the Europa Cup. It consists of six stages: two qualifying rounds, 1/8 finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final consisting of two matches.

Our club will start from the first qualifying round, with the draw scheduled for August 31 and the matches on September 10/11 and 17/18. In theory, Ukrainian delegations in the Women's Champions League could be relegated to the Europa Cup if they are eliminated in the third qualifying round or finish second/third in the second.
